I want my game to be as official as possible. I've always felt that part of my enjoyment of D&D comes from being part of the larger D&D community. Some of my least favorite interactions with other players have come from realizing that we have absolutely no common ground. I'd meet people at games days or conventions or whatever and I'd say "You like Forgotten Realms too? Awesome. I'm running a game set in Icewind Dale." and they'd reply with something like "Icewind Dale doesn't exist in my game. the Realms were conquered by the Decepticons from Transformers when they came thought a portal 200 years ago. The PCs are part of a a rebellion being led by the Thundercats whose ship crash landed there 20 years later." and I'd think "Wow...we really have nothing in common. We can't discuss our games because it would require hours of providing context before we even can arrive at a common ground."So, if the new books change the world, I'll likely use whatever is in there...or dislike it enough that I won't play any games in Dark Sun. But I'm unlikely to change it. There's too many good worlds out there that I like the lore of the play one I don't. Or to spend the time and energy to fix a broken one.</blockquote>
