[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8960174, member: 6802378"] Maybe it is not our fault, nor TSR neither WotC but by some group without true links with the hobby. The IP could be used by these, and then the franchise could be tainted ideologically. Other point is the Tablelands of Athas are too small to be explored (compared with other settings) if the campaign is not linked with the overthrow of the sorcerer-kings. And players could start to face too many ethical dilemmas and Sadducean traps, too many and it stops to be fun. And it is not only the lack of a system for the psionic powers, but also they have to choose about the return of the speces linkes with these. What if any body suggest the fraals(little gray aliens) a new psionic specie? Or the blues, the goblin subrace.

If it was unlocked in DMGuild, then more of one 3PP would start to create crunch to help in the survival. * Could corporal undeads need water in hot dessertic zones because dehydrated muscles can't move? * There are radical changes in our current society.
