[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6279550"] Alright. So what? I mean really you're saying you'll never buy products with lore you don't like. News flash: you and everybody else. They can't make everyone happy and unless you are personally going to purchase an extra copy for everyone who doesn't like YOUR preferred lore, you're just another number like the rest of us. And frankly, I don't think there's a reasonable way to accommodate you. You're asking for published adventures without setting lore, that just...doesn't work. You're basically asking for a book of context-less crunch with no fluff(or at least no fluff you disapprove of). If WOTC doesn't create worlds and stories I like, I don't buy them. I encourage everyone to do the same. If they make things I do like, I buy them, I likewise encourage people to do the same. What I discourage is demanding that WOTC only publish things the way you want, which it feels like you're demanding, and really, you and everyone else are going to be unhappy with something. Be it drow, primordials, tieflings, dragonborn, gnomes, dwarves(I hate them my precious, hate them!), but these things MAY be included in the game and they WILL have fluff, and any one of them could set off others. As much as I like my crunch, I am far, far less interested it in without fluff...even if it's fluff I don't particularly like (I like Tieflings and Dragonborn, but hate their lore for example). I'm sorry...but complaining that DDN/5e doesn't mesh with the GDQ of AD&D is somewhat absurd. I realize DDN is trying to be as backwards compatible as possible, but as I stated, restated and repeated, it can't please everyone. It cannot be compatible with everything. Some things will be overruled by yes, what is popular and what sells, or what they think is plain superior. BUT: I'm still not getting where you are getting this idea that the lore cannot be changed. It seems to me you are complaining that WOTC will not change the [B]official[/B] lore, and extrapolating that to mean YOU cannot change your home-game lore. I'm not sure why you have this idea, but perhaps I am misreading you. When you run official products you get the official story, we all know that when we purchase the product, but we are in full control once we take that book home. If we choose [I]not[/I] to exercise that control, well, that's on us, not WOTC. [/QUOTE]
