[QUOTE="Gold Roger, post: 5925177, member: 33904"] I agree and the classic implied setting of D&D is something I love and in a way grew up with long before I started playing it. I think two things are important. One is that with hard work you could greatly deviate from the implied setting, something I hope modularity in DDN will help with. The other is that the Core of the game does the classical implied setting as close to 95% (100% will be impossible) as possible. Not to bash the 4th edition (I quite enjoyed it at its infancy and still think it's great for certain games), but it changed big stretches of the implied setting. This upset many and I can definitely see why. If you've played the same setting, wether homebrew or published, based on implied, for a long time and you suddenly can't anymore without hard houseruling or a massively overhauled setting book, that's bad for the game. I homebrew as edition neutral as possible, but D&D specific, as I currently don't have a prefered edition. I can do ODD, BDD, ADD 1st&2ed, 3rd and Pathfinder in it with little trouble. I can do 4th as well, but it's more work. I hope I can do DDN without much work. And I hope it can do Planescape, every version of FR, Eberron, Nenthir Vale, Eberron, Dark Sun and many as well using the Core release. [/QUOTE]
