Yep, [MENTION=261]Doc_Klueless[/MENTION] already pointed out my mistake and I gave him XP to acknowledge it. I've also edited my post to admit the mistake.
I'm not. Besides, even if someone is disparaging something, their is no reason to get worked up in the defense of said thing.
No enumerated list could possibly contain my antipathy. The name of my hatred is Legion.
That's the thing. I think that Hasbro-WotC is primarily focused on IP management mode when it comes to D&D.
"...when asked what races and classes he hates, he answered "Gnomes and paladins, for they are many."
If they do a Mystara product, how likely is it they'd give a good amount of space to the Hollow World? I love Taladas, but I'm sure that any Dragonlance product would focus on Ansalon (and more specifically the War of the Lance).
Ah, yes, Taladas, love that boxed set (Time of the Dragon), another ahead of its time campaign setting, and the origin of Kits. Greco-Roman minotaur kingdom, Mongolian elves, depressed kender, gnomish death commandos, feral jungle illithids, Glass Sailors, so much goodness.
Midnight for 5e seems like it would easily be doable with only a few adjustments.
Because the people who play them lack the imagination to invent personalities more complex than, "I'm small," and they need a crutch.
Short legs.
Original write-up, of course. Why deprive play groups of their own trainwreck?
What is a "prequel fantasy"?
Well, apparently most people prefer home-brew, and even if they release another setting, no need to reinvent the wheel (yet another new setting), plenty of established settings that have not really been touched in years (aside from FR and Eberron), and all the M: tG worlds.
Dawnforge was written to be a "prequel" of sorts to D&D's sort of presumed current state of affairs. It was set before the split between elves and drow. Before the orcs became (mostly) evil marauders. The gods are not in the heavens but are, instead, demigods that walk the earth. The characters of Dawnforge will become the figures of legend that D&D speaks about. You are living in the building that will become the ruins that D&D characters will explore. Your character has the ability to shape the direction of the future such that maybe the drow never come about as a result of your actions in reconciling the elves. Or they may steer it towards the D&D that we know. Even though the setting was not Greco-Roman in flavor, it did have that sort of mythic flair or tone where your characters would become like Hercules, Jason, or Theseus.
