[QUOTE="THEMNGMNT, post: 9584253, member: 6809274"] I'm not convinced there is a difference in approach between 5E and 5.5E. It's the same game. And the product plan has been evolving for the last 11 years. First, I'm surprised at how many setting books were published for 5E. And even more surprised that most of them didn't have adventure support. Second, I was surprised to Dragonlance get an adventure, but not a setting book. Still scratching my head at that one. Third, they've been experimenting with format for a while. Spelljammer got 3 books in a slipcase. That's the deluxe treatment for a setting. This year we're going to see an Eberron book that's shorter and slimmer that previous books. It's like a mini-update. As for Forgotten Realms, there hasn't been a proper campaign setting published in 15 years (4E) and you've got to go back almost 25 years (3E) for a book that fans actually embraced. So maybe it was just time. [/QUOTE]
