    Yes 30 years of out of date lore. This 5e FRCG wouldn't be as needed, but they keep jumping the timeline forward and hitting the setting with things like the ToT, the Spellplague, and Sundering and lesser apocalypses, causing radical setting changes. Not that I'm complaining, keeps the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Planeswalker's Guide to Theros

    That happened, then they changed their mind later, it's WotC. Why do so many folks not realize that just because WotC says things, that doesn't mean they won't change their mind later (not targeted to you, just a general statement based on observations in general).

    No. That Dax from Star Trek was being born in 2018 was star trek canon, if it was real, then that would mean right now there would be a Trill civilization we would someday meet. Big difference. Although from a modal realist perspective it could be true in a counterpart universe to ours, in...

    Oh the novels absolutely drove FRs popularity, but Dragonlance also has a lot of novels. But the novels are nothing without the setting behind them. Btw this partly why IMHO cutting the novel line for FR was a giant mistake that needs to be rectified.

    My point was that at one point Greyhawk had an edge because it was older and at the time it had more stuff and the blessing of Gygax, but FR was more popular when it came out and eclipsed Greyhawk and it rode that popularity until it had way, way more material then Greyhawk. They even tried to...

    That is why I don't concider Ravenloft published for 5e, just dabbled in.

    No it suggests they had a smaller staff and that they were focusing their core staff on the core three books while the SCAG was being written, same with how it was actually another company that wrote Tyranny of Dragons. Writing on both books I believe actually started before the writing of the...

    I never suggested that Greyhawk had sufficient material on DMsguild for 5e, eventually it needs an update for 5e, my point was the it has support back in the day, so your suggesting that FR was more popular only because it got lots of lore and support is wrong, they both got support, it's...

    Dark Sun won't come either way until the Psion class is ready, whether or not we get a 5e FRCG style book, it won't push Darksun back. And I have a feeling Planescape will be released as an AP based on Sigil, but with a Manuel of the planes style book for multiple settings at a later date...

    It's all for the Swordcoast or Chult, that isn't enough.

    It wasn't remade, it was converted to PDF form for D&D classics, D&D classics got merged into DMSGUILD. It's the exact same books as in 1e/2e, it's just in PDF form, not print.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypothetical Zendikar Campaign Guide

    Zendikar was inspired by D&D in the first place, a lot of it's mechanics reflect D&D, no way they miss this opportunity for a Zendikar book. You can't go by Ravnica and Theros time gap, Ravnica was the first true D&D 5e setting book, it was a test, and they wanted to see how well it would do...

    No my arguement is that they did in fact have support in 2e especially. Look at the link I provided, much of those books were for 2e. And FR was more popular then Greyhawk long before 3e. 3e used Greyhawk as default, but that didn't help it's popularity enough to do much more with it, people...

    It's not nearly as much as it sounds. You just figure out what are the key details, locations, and Sundering changes for each region. It's really not that different then Eberron's book really. Maybe each region is is slightly bigger in page count because there are multiple nations in each...

    Those were all pdfs of officially published Greyhawk products. You buy them off DMGUILD, because it absorbed the site that used to sell PDFs of older published official books, but they aren't DMSGUILD products, Greyhawk isn't an allowed setting for DMSGUILD authors in fact.

    Acquisitions Inc is actually also set in the Forgotten Realms, their Verdan race is tied to events that occurred in FR, and it's canon, but I don't even know how to catagorize that book honestly. The relative sales of the SCAG weren't that bad and the book wasn't even primarily written by...
