[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8573539, member: 22779"] The problem being that no, they really aren't. Unique gaming worlds are incredibly niche products that barely made any money and died very quickly. other than Forgotten Realms maybe. Erik Mona commented when he was editor at Dragon that as soon as they put any setting tagline on a Dungeon or Dragon magazine, sales would drop considerably. As in very noticeably. We've had Pathfinder for what, 15 years now, and it's still using a single setting for it's products. If unique gaming worlds were awesome, big sellers, why doesn't anyone actually do them? When you are having record profits, absolutely unbelievable success, and record growth, it's perhaps not the right time to start changing things too much? Isn't it funny how none of these races that get brought up - whether it's gully dwarves, kender, half-orcs, drow, whatever - never, ever seem to be rapacious, culture destroying but incredibly successful races that dominate much of the worlds they live in... funny that.
