[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8529058, member: 7006"] Serious question... Assuming for the sake of argument that you are a fan of Dragonlance and actually want a 5E setting sourcebook... would it actually matter if they in fact DID include a chapter in the setting book for Spelljammer / Krynnspace? Would that one chapter in an otherwise full 200+ pages of Dragonlance information STOP you from buying the book, rather than just buying the book for all the stuff you want and then just not reading or using that chapter? Do you actually need every single chapter and page in a book to be useable to you for it to be worthy of purchase? Me personally, I'd say "Not in the least!". Hell, I bought [I]Eberron: Rising from the Last War[/I] even after I had bought the [I]Wayfinder's Guide To Eberron[/I], knowing full well that a tremendous amount of stuff was just going to be completely reprinted and thus be "unusable" page count per se. It's no different than buying a monster book, knowing full well there are going to be a crapton of monsters I'll never actually use in any of my games. If I buy a book, I do it with the full knowledge that I ain't gonna use everything in it, and I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face because of that fact. If I only bought gaming books that I was going to make entire use of everything in it... I'd never be able to buy gaming books. So the "fear" that a Dragonlance book in the future might include a chapter about stuff that you won't care about seems to me quite a bit unfounded. Especially considering if you [I]like[/I] Dragonlance, you probably already own a bunch of older Dragonlance stuff... which means you can use the setting you already have and you'd just use the 5E book for the updated game mechanics (in which case you won't be using more than [I]half[/I] of the book most likely.) So if that's going to stop you, why are you even waiting for a new 5E setting book in the first place? [/QUOTE]
