Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tormyr" data-source="post: 6349279" data-attributes="member: 6776887">I mostly DM so I usually think of things from that perspective.  I would think that a proper campaign setting would be much too big for a magazine.  It would contain nations, cities, polititical organizations, holidays, etc., etc., etc.  I could see Greyhawk being a couple hundred pages as the Flanaess is a big place, but Spelljammer could be a lot smaller as it is about the space side of things and you incorporate other campaign settings for the planets.I was given a 4e Dark Sun Campagin Setting and Creature Catalog from a friend.  The Campagin Setting is 220 pages of places, changes to races, new powers an story.  The creature catalog gives 140 pages of creatures and NPCs that make Athas unique.  The Campaign Setting was $40 and the Creature Catalog was $20.  The Campaign Setting is needed by players and the DM, whereas only the DM needs the creature catalog.  If they followed a siimilar model in 5e, I would be pretty happy.  If they made the campaign setting rules agnostic, and separated out the crunchy bits that the players needed into a player's guide and made all three books $20 each, I think that could really work. I think the lower price point for players would lower the barrier for entry and sell more books in the end.Unless I am misunderstanding you, and you were saying that just with the player's stuff in a magazine instead of a $20 book.  But I think there probably would be more content than a magazine issue could hold unless it was the only thing in the issue.</blockquote>
