[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 6131106, member: 6690511"] If they commit to carrying forward established lore, they shouldn't contradict established lore. I don't see why that's a problem. Because the Planescape Slaad [I]is[/I] the "core" D&D Slaad (actually, the [I]only[/I] D&D slaad). OD&D and 1e (the Greyhawk default setting) said "these monsters are from the Outer Planes." Forgotten Realms had those creatures, and said they were from those same Outer Planes. MotP and Planescape came along and said "You know those Outer Planes we're always talking about? Here's more details about them and the creatures that come from there." The Planes were [I]never[/I] a separate setting. That's not true at all. You can have Eberron demons be different from the traditional D&D demons, or whatever. Again, not everything is core. Because it adds a layer of detail to them, and makes them more separate from devils, and what do we gain from not having that extra detail? Because they have been ever since 0e. Why change it? Two reasons: 1) that's not what eladrins are, and 2) why not just call them high elves? Greyhawk and Realms fans absolutely do. It seems we just don't see eye to eye on the basics of what "core lore" should be. I (and D&D R&D) are in favor of the idea that D&D should emphasize its rich history of lore. How would you describe what you want to see in the "core" of a new edition of D&D? [/QUOTE]
