I'm pretty sure Nostradamus predicted this and that's why the American colonies were really founded.

Nor am I, but I did really love the IT Crowd. Does that count?

While driving my son to school yesterday, one of the department stores was advertising their in store Cyber Monday sales on shoes, pants and other apparel items. I just looked back at him and said that they didn't seem to understand the concept of Cyber Monday.

I tried that once. Its hide was thick and I couldn't get through it. Then it got mad at me. Never again!

Slots are much easier. I have 3 1st level slots, and 5 1st level spells to pick from. With points I have to worry about using too many here and not there. How many do I have to save for future encounters. The temptation is large to use a lot more lower level utility spells out of combat...

I get mad at those guys all the time while driving in my Lexus. They don't even have respect for their own brethren!

Sounds like a place I need to go when I'm having troubles with my summonings.

That's the point. WotC doesn't need to create a brand new setting every time something changes in the rules. People who play this game are plenty capable of spending a few seconds to do it themselves in one of the many kitchen sink settings already out there. We don't need yet another kitchen...

Maaaaybe? I didn't play 4e, so I don't really know. :)

The point is that with what I came up with they are not newcomers. They were there and are native, and are important to the setting. And I could come up with dozens of other ways that they were there are along and important to the setting, just not in the forefront of gameplay up until now...

Maybe, but I'm not convinced. Slots are really easy. Spell points are a resource that has to be tracked, can generally be applied as you will for more or less high/low level spells, depending on how you spend them, and so on. To make them simpler you'd have to restrict how you spend them, such...

I just spent 10 seconds and came up with an island of Dragonborn off the coast of Chult that 10,000 years ago was subjected to a 12th level spell by a rival nation that catapulted the island into the far future. It just reappeared. With 10 seconds I did essentially the same thing for the...

This. None of those races needed to come from somewhere or "are here now." They just hadn't been described before.

Maybe, but setting isn't tied to mechanics in the first place. Not even Eberron which was billed as built for 3e. There are only two settings I can think of where mechanics have been tied to setting. Dark Sun and Birthright, and you can use any edition for Birthright.

When they make significant changes, they still won't need to create an entirely new setting around those changes, because settings are different from mechanics. However, 5.5e is not significantly different from 5e due to WotC's goal of compatibility.

Spell points is the more complex system, not the simpler one.
