I have a number of houserules to switch races to the way I want them to work, to disallow elements that don't fit with the campaigns that I want to run, heck, to even make language run the way I wanted to, all because of how pervasive the core setting was. But while 4e was being regularly published, there wasn't much I could do about official lore than ignore it where it didn't intersect with rules, or houserule where it did. I swallowed the setting because I /really liked/ the rules. And, yes, given the option of picking which "forced lore" setting D&D would use, I'd opt for World Axis / PoLand. Now, though, I have the opportunity to tell Wizards, through their playtest, how I think it should really be done. If I had my druthers, 5e would be a polished, slightly streamlined, core-worldless 4e with a series of setting supplements. The fact that I prefer the World Axis over Great Wheel is, again, unrelated, as is the fact that I got along fine in 4e /despite/ it's core setting's pervasiveness.EDIT: [MENTION=6722817]Weather Report[/MENTION] - If you don't see Law vs. Chaos in the 4e cosmology, I question whether you're even familiar with the conceit.</blockquote>
