[QUOTE="Green Knight, post: 4181210, member: 2723"] Agreed. Despite being a huge Forgotten Realms fan (although I'm not exactly thrilled with the changes to the 4E Realms. Well, except for the change I'mr responsible for, but this isn't the place to stroke my ego ;) ), I'd rather have books on half-a-dozen settings rather then books on The Shining South, The Unnaproachable East, etc. Between the internet and downloading old supplements, it's easy enough to get old fluff on specific areas within a campaign setting. The most important thing is getting the setting converted to 4E, so that you can play it right away. A Campaign Guide, Player's Guide, and DM's Guide for each setting is a great idea. That's more then enough to get a campaign off and running. And if you need more background info, then download some of the old stuff. One can only hope. While I'm pretty happy with three books for all those settings, I'm a greedy sonofabitch, and so want more. ;) As Ari points out, WotC can't really publish some of these books, as they can't really make a profit off of them. But a 3rd party publisher could. After all, isn't that why White Wolf created Arthaus, for instance? To publish stuff which they couldn't turn a profit on, but which a smaller company could make a profit on? Same thing. License out the setting to any third party publisher who thinks they can make money off of it.
