[QUOTE="CRG, post: 250758, member: 5867"] ...a few things for me. I'm a long-time RPG person but for a variety of reasons (wife, kids, job) I don't play as much as I did back in college. Let's just say I'm not hip to the D20 groove as much as I'd like. I've been reading a bunch, but I have some questions about some of the material being produced. To date, I've stayed mostly within the WoTC realm of material and only bought a few things outside of the "standard" releases. (1) Love Kenzer & Co, but only for KoDT. No idea they did this Kalamar thing, and I'm a bit confused as to the description "official D&D setting". I thought that was Greyhawk (still). Can anyone explain? (2) Harn. Is there a Harn D20? I can't for the life of me remember who makes it, and I didn't see anything in the review section. I thought Harn was all abstract and non-system specific... (3) Ravenloft - does Sword and Sorcery officially own the rights to this now or was it just a joint publication or something, with no current plans by either group to continue to publish? (4) Legend of the Five Rings - Was OA a joint deal? Is OA now Lot5R? Is it still an Alderac thing? I see Rokugan stuff with their name on it still? Can anyone explain that relationship? (5) I see alot of folks playing DragonStar...is it really as popular as the internet makes it seem? Before I go buy it (my local game shop has all the books shrinkwrapped), what is it? Is it a fantasy / technology mixed genre? (6) Are the other settings largely abandoned (except the cool Polyhedron publications)? I'm thinking Spelljammer, Planescape in particular...secondary question about DragonLance, Dark Sun. [/QUOTE]
