[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7569570, member: 6778044"] But that’s not entirely true. Greyhawk went through a major timeline upgrade in the Wars/From the Ashes era, and Dragonlance has covered multiple eras too, although not always by TSR/WoTC. But updating to 5e/expanding the knowledge of the setting doesn’t have to be via timeline. Lord of the Rings has been detailed multiple times by multiple companies, and they don’t typically advance any timeline. I think the key is not so much whether they publish for 5e, but how. Republishing established lore with new (or reworked) adventures is quite different than creating new world-changing APs. A large part of even Realms lore hasn’t been altered from 1e. Greyhawk could continue to be presented in anthologies like Yawning Portal and, as it may now be, Saltmarsh. The only think really missing is a republishing of the general setting as was done in CoS or even SKT and SCAG. There was some new Realms material, but most wasn’t, other than to set things back to largely how they were. [/QUOTE]
