[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1098186, member: 2122"] Maybe, but if I have to do half the work to have a complete setting, than I would rather do a whole one BY MYSELF, which is what I did. Else, I want tools, not concepts. Concepts I have a dime a dozen. As much as someone else's concept might be interesting, buying a setting is for those that don't have the time to create one. If I don't have the time to create one, I sure as hell don't have the time to map half of it. You also have to realize that your position is subjective. That doesn't mean that your point is not valid, I quite agree that it comes down to matters of personal taste. Funny. I, for one, don't want new feats, spells, or prestige classes in a purchased setting. I want those to be published in generic splat books. If a player gets used to a feat from a setting, and then you make him play in a different setting, he might feel that the new setting "sucks" simply because he lost access to the feat. As for prestige classes... once again, I must fall back on Scarred Lands (sorry NIghtfall). I feel they over did it with the paladin prestige classes, while mostly leaving the other classes behind. It's sloppy. I want my money back from buying Scarred Lands, and I can't.:( You must have awesome talent at drawing maps and hours to spend making them, but if I think about the majority out there, I doubt they ALL have such ability and/or time. I think delivering the goods would be more helpful. It seems so. [/QUOTE]
