[QUOTE="The Glen, post: 8031384, member: 6800327"] No. No matter what you write somebody is going to take offense. Ravenloft has mature themes because it's horror themed. D&D is ages 12 and up can't have mature themes that would scare away future customers. Dark Sun is built around slavery that the taboo topic so we can't have that. Greyhawk and Birthright are based on European cultures and that is a major No-No right now. Mystara's actually quite diverse but because it was written by white guys it'll never see the light of day again. dragonlance is all about the struggle of Good and Evil. 5th edition has moved heavily towards evil having no ramifications. You can't actually be punished for your decisions now, so no dragonlance. Forgotten Realms has evil creatures as default. That's getting taken out. Not to mention all the problematic colonies all over the map. spelljammer and planescape take you to the problematic regions so until the problematic regions are purged we're not going to get them. Eberron has the problematic drow, and then you got the people with dragonmarks who are better than everyone else which is not going to go down well. Either we look past the flaws of each of the settings, or this argument cycles for all eternity. Some of these settings were the best fantasy settings written. Spelljammer was a flawed system but people love the setting. Nitpicking every single book to try to find something you don't like is just ruining the fun for people that do like it. There's 10 major settings if you don't like what you got nine more choose from. If you don't like any of them just write your own. [/QUOTE]
