So, instead of assuming that we know of these publications, why not tell us a little about what they have to say. I personally would welcome this additional information.This is an interesting approach to non-core material. Why, in your opinion, is it a waste of time to discuss approaches different from non-core material? My understanding is that non-core material is optional and that ENWorld has offered, from time to time, a font of practical alternatives to it.Would you be this angry if there were a discussion of additional weapons that failed to mention the Arms & Equipment Guide or From Stone to Steel?So, are we going to become like The Forge and start every thread with a set of academic definitions of terms now? I agree that there has been some sloppy use of terminology but, as you can see, the process of debate is actually causing us to come closer to shared and agreed-upon definitions. Is it happening slower than I would like? Of course; this is an internet forum.So you feel that issues of suspension of disbelief and self-consistency do not merit discussion here? Surely what a DM dreams up needs to have some kind of relationship to the laws of cause and effect in a D&D universe, unless you believe in hand-waving on a massive scale.Can you clarify what you mean here? I had assumed that this thread would be valuable to those of us who build homebrew worlds to think through what range of options we have in building societies therein.Correct me if I am wrong but don't all D&D worlds, both published and home-brewed have politics and religion in them? Is it really your contention that these elements of world-building should never ever be discussed here? I suppose all discussions of WOTC's published Deities and Demigods should be shut down immediately because to even mention the book violates your hyper-literal interpretation of our forum's rules.</blockquote>
