[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 6496925, member: 907"] At any point they want, but doing so is usually a bad idea - particularly in a non-photographic medium where you aren't limited by actors. I mean, let's say you have a very well-developed setting like the Forgotten Realms. There's a lot of stuff written about it, and some people think it's awesome and others think it sucks. Then you make some sort of major change to it, like the Spellplague and the rest of the 4e stuff. The people who used to be fans of the setting are likely to be largely negative to changes like this. After all, they [I]liked[/I] the old Realms. The people who didn't like the setting aren't likely to care at all - to them, it's still the Realms after all, and they probably have some other setting they like better. That's why major reboots are often a bad idea - the potential downside is WAY bigger than the potential upside. [/QUOTE]
