[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 8489687, member: 6845520"] This is more or less a good summary of what happened both in and out of setting, at least without [I]really[/I] getting into the details. I happen to be one of the fans of the Fifth Age/Age of Mortals. Overall it brought the game into a more updated ruleset and did a great deal to fix a lot of the problems of the early books. The fear I have is that this synopsis screams of a "we're going to reboot this back to a time period where people [I]think[/I] they want, even though half the modern rules/races/classes frankly just don't work unless we retcon the setting to a point beyond recognition." But I'll judge the book after I've read it, buy any supplement for the 5e ruleset and just ignore whatever lore I find is stupid. In my games Paladine is [I]NOT[/I] Bahamut and Takhisis is [I]NOT[/I] Tiamat (and is dead unless I decide otherwise). I actually [I]like[/I] the setup that the War of Souls gave us and have no desire to change it short of progressing the story further. Especially if it means removing half of great potential for factions/political intrigue that adding the Legion of Steel, and Sorcerers vs Wizards conflict over differences in magic added. [/QUOTE]
