I like running horror and Ravenloft is a good D&D setting, so I don't necessarily feel the need to create a new horror setting--especially since an entire world of horror would be terribly unrealistic without a plot contrivance like the Dark Powers. I could create an entire planehopping setting for myself, but I like Sigil and the gate towns, and I like at least the concept behind many of the planes, so I might as well grab stuff from Planescape (along with the numerous other planar books I own).Your feelings about D&D lore are getting flack because of the following:That's why.And this basically happens every time something like new lore drops. Every time. And it's not even written in a ridiculous, over-the-top way like Snarf and their hatred of bards of elves (which also gets a facepalm from me, at the least).I mean, there's literally nothing stopping you from continuing the meta-plot on your own. Write a supplement. Write a short story. Heck, just outline what you want to see and stick it up here on a new thread or on a blog or something for others to use as a springboard. Do something creative with your thoughts instead of just kvetching about it all the time.</blockquote>
