Message: <blockquote data-quote="MechaPilot" data-source="post: 6967473" data-attributes="member: 82779">FR fans, through the market, do get to decide what WotC publishes.  FR, for better or worse, is the most popular setting WotC owns, and its material sells.  WotC knows that the FR setting is second in popularity only to the various Homewbew settings of the fanbase (which WotC obviously cannot monetize through CS books), and that's why FR is the default WotC has chosen for 5e.But, FR has been done to death, and then some.  As I mentioned, if you just count official releases, FR has had 270+ supplements/novels released to support it and flesh it out, with the 3e FRCS book widely being recognized as one of the best FR setting books (with some holding it up as the standard for setting books in general).  If you want material for FR, there is already an immense wealth of material available to you.Even setting aside my personal distaste for FR, I would much rather see something new than a rehash of something that has already been covered so thoroughly and so "well."And I know people will say, "but, we don't have a post-sundering FRCS.  We need to know the state of FR post sundering."  To that I can only say this:1) every setting cataclysm is a ploy to sell more FR material covering the same old areas,2) you are in no way required to set your FR games post-sundering; and3) WotC probably doesn't even know the post sundering state of large swaths of FR, and the differences likely won't be awesome or redefining in any substantial way.</blockquote>
