[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7666314, member: 15582"] Not one product is going to please everyone*. I ask that the next time you're in your FLGS, take a look at a Savage World's Plot Point Setting/Campaign book. A Plot Point framework is [I]not [/I]the same as an AP. To make a WotC Plot Point book, you'd just have to triple the size of the setting section and double the page count on the monster section. Thankfully, 5e hasn't blown out the class sections so the character section would stay about the same. And most of that is not for the sake of content (though that is the great side benefit), but also because WotC has use certain page counts for their particular economic model and DnD's format. Not every Savage Worlds setting book is such a critter, but the big ones are: 50 Fathoms Rippers Slipstream Necessary Evil Explorer's Edition Necropolis 2350 Space 1889: Red Sands Rippers The Savage World of Solomon Kane Sundered Skies RunePunk I have ADHD, I say that meetings are very, very evil. Nine times out of ten what gets accomplished at a meeting has nothing to do with the topic of the meeting. I don't have time for small talk, personal agendas that are overtaking the focus of the project and need of some people to put their two cents in on every decision to be discussed, especially when their espoused opinion can be narrowed down to "I agree but I need to be heard to be validated" Or pointless brown nosing. Just give me my assignments and let me go! ... That was a bit longer than rant than I planned. Apologies. * When TLG decided to NOT make their CKG a series of smaller books, based on subject, I gave a weary sigh. I'm sure that someone out there appreciated that half the book was about calculating the proper population numbers/ square footage for every village and city so it sounded like GM had done their research out of the Oxford Libraries. I was not one of them. [/QUOTE]
