Lots of modern narrative RPGs can do thst sort of thing. I heard good things about Good Society, a Jane Austen Regency RPG: Good Society: A Jane Austen Roleplaying Game

Do you recall which options, specifically? The UA provided a popular veto, it wasn't a guarantee thst the idea would fit with their overall goals in the end.

I mean, I think you answered the question. Strict backwards compatibility was central to their plans, as part of avoiding a bad reception. Breaking backwards compatibility is not something that WotC will ever want to do if it impacts Beyond user numbers even slightly.

Yes, the physical layout of the cities is drawn from Medieval and Classical examples mixed with imagination. Greenwood has a gift for creative settlement cartography, 1990's Forgotten Realms Adventures is excellent for all the diverse city maps, that's where Baldur's Gate first git detailed for...

Heck, personally I'd roll back the entire metaplot to 1E, which would also make more sense than all the chaos of 150 years across a continent landing at pretty close to the status quo of 150 years previous.

It was more about avoid8ng a 4E-style reception situation as a number one priority. Which, I mean, as a business learning from mistakes and not repeating them is growth, too.

There were no 1 to 1 analogues.

He did, along with Aslan (Aslan had to undergo a namechange in the published Setting, but Narrnia is still in the Forgotten Realms). There were snippets and odds and ends from here and there all over the place. A Hodge dodge pastiche, fractured pieces. Then TSR juat started popping down...

They counted them as Mulan im the 2014 PHB IIRC, so that's what sticks in my mind!

OK, here's the thing: Greenwood is not the one who made the Moonshae Isles Celtic and British Twee. The Moonshae Isles in the published Setting were imported from another Setting product thst got cancelled, because TSR had a novel ready to go by Douglas Niles. So they replaced an archipelago...

I mean, not all. Most, yes. I kinda would have liked the unified Subclass progression, and I thinknthe game would be stronger if the Proficiency Dice had made it in...but what can you do?

For context, he liked 4E a good deal (and why not, it was good at what it did), he would have liked it if 4E was received more...charitably?

Yeah, I would agree with your point...largely see that as a good thing. Of anything, I think the hobbybmight be healthier of D&D had stayed much more conservative: no AD&D, juat iterations on OD&D along the lines of B/X.

I mean, yeah. And again, iterating till discovering what users want is innovation and improvement.

I mean, I think the idea is that all three groups merged and re-split over thousands of years, and are interelated now.

I mean, not to get in the way of a good rant...but the recent Psionic UA was apparently well receoved.

I mean, pretty sure FR10 was written first.

I mean, I don't know the exact population demographics (douvt they have ever bothered with that lwvel of detail, but enough that the languages and gods are imports (the gods manifested and led theor people in a revolution to overthrow the evil wizards).

Yes, the people from the Southwest corner of the Inner Sea were mainly imported from the ANE by evil wizards.

The Mulan are more than just the Mulhorandi, it's also the Untherite, Thayans, Chessenthans, Rashemi (like Minsc) and others.
