[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8828424, member: 22779"] I've been ignoring D&D lore since 1982. I've always made my own lore, borrowed from whatever sources I fancied at the time. My current planned campaign (although this one might not be getting off the ground) had the world as a living goddess and dungeons were sentient cancers. The party travels around on a giant walking dinosaur thing with a village on its back, eating the hearts of these dungeons to cure the cancers. All living creatures with sentience are actually creations of the cancers who have been freed when a dungeon was destroyed. There are no "races" in my world. Only those born in the forges in the Dungeons. This is about as far from a bog standard D&D world as I can make it and i'm loving it. So why on earth would i want, need or even remotely look for WotC to fill in any blanks? I've almost never run a game in a WotC world until 5e really. And even then it's because I've been running the WotC adventure paths. I cannot believe that people who champion home-brew worlds and creating their own campaigns and own campaign worlds actually want WotC to dictate lore to them. Doesn't it get in your way? [/QUOTE]
