People don't need information about some objective "the setting" before they can decide what imaginary place they want to imagine their D&D game taking place in.No one is hurt because someone imagines an Orc in Krynn. Not the person who does the imagining. Nor anyone else.The decision as to whether to imagine things the same as someone else did in the mid-1980s, or not, is not an important decision.When I think of Aunt May she is old and grey-haired, as per the classic Spider-Man comics from the 60s and 70s. Presumably many people today, when they think of Aunt May, think of the character in the recent films who is very little like the Aunt May I think of. No harm is done by either me or those others in imagining what we imagine. And Marvel/Disney is not obliged to tell anyone anything about the different ways in which they present a given character.If someone today wants to find out what many people thought of when they thought of DL and Krynn in the 1980s there are ample materials to do so. WotC is not depriving anyone of any entitlement by not including that information in whatever it decides to publish now.</blockquote>
