[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 3397199, member: 32740"] To answer your first question directly - there does NOT come a time when it makes sense to put still-popular settings out to pasture, ASSUMING of course that the setting continues to be profitable to publish. That doesn't mean that it isn't going to wear out its welcome with some people due to being complicated, over-detailed, gimmicky, etc. I swore off the Forgotten Realms several years ago after having spent over 10 years running and playing EVERY D&D campaign therein. I literally said, "I intend to NEVER run FR again." I spent as much time finding things I DIDN'T like about it and making changes to it as simply running it. I think it was when I found myself in the middle of rearranging the map for the entire setting that I said, "I give up." I also wanted change just for the sake of change. Doesn't make it a bad setting as such - just one that no longer did anything for ME. I don't particularly suspect that too many people feel the same way. FR is still popular; it's still selling, yes? When those two things change, THEN it's time to lay it to rest with a respectful farewell. [/QUOTE]
