I mean, I get it. They are a business and that has to come first. They're obviously trying to consolidate everything into less brands so we all buy everything they release (full disclosure: I will). They're afraid to splinter the player base into Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Dark Sun, Krynn, etc. It makes sense. It just doesn't make for good story-telling, unfortunately. My argument is that they don't need to bastardize classic lore so frivolously. The people that are drawn to the classics generally like the classics where they are. The people that don't care are generally not affected by nostalgic gimmicks, so it seems like a net loss to keep wedging it all into the Realms. Why not just let the Realms be the Realms? If the Realms isn't cool enough to power itself with its own history and lore, then why is it the most popular setting?I recognize that I am merely expressing my superior opinion. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
