[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7899513, member: 6688277"] This is true but that can be said for almost any setting, right ? And yet people still desire (for whatever reason) to have these settings updated to 5e. The point of yours I was responding to was your comment that DS was done a mere 10 years ago in 4e, a 5e book is not necessary. Why would 5e players of the game have to acquire a 4e book only to have to update it for the 5e engine? That seems like an unnecessary hurdle. And it is even a more surprising ask particularly since 4e fractured the D&D community. My heart is with the Mystara setting. I frequent the Vaults of Pandius, download the Threshold Magazine and other works by Mystara-fans and I have no issue adapting all the BECMI and 2e Mystara material into 5e. But as a fan, I would buy a 5e Mystara book if WotC ever got around to it. I would imagine fans of other settings would do the same, no matter when last it was published officially. EDIT: I just saw lowkey13's [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/only-the-lonely-why-we-demand-official-product.669798/page-2#post-7898895']thread[/URL] which elaborates much more on such an issue.
