Message: <blockquote data-quote="takasi" data-source="post: 1816420" data-attributes="member: 20194">Thank you for pointing those out Merric, as few and far between as they are.  I have Frostburn, Complete Divine and almost the entire miniature line, and they are not representative of a substantial contribution to supporting a campaign setting.How about the Eberron DM who's thinking of running it but doesn't know where to place it?  They have no clue where Furyondy is or the background flavor of it, so why include it?  What does it help?  Why the need to mention where it takes place at all?  Why not have sidebars with suggestions for various compaign settings, including Greyhawk?That's my point.  You are the only outlet supporting this setting.  It would be as if a magazine like Wizard bought an old comic book series and started publishing snippets of newly created issues in their magazine.  Older fans of that particular series might enjoy it, but it would come off as FAR more than a "wink and a nod" to anyone else.  And my point is where is the setting detailed for new players?  This is where you may begin alienating future customers, especially when D&D Online comes out.I haven't complained about the quantity of adventures, just the presentation of the first two.That's a self-fulfilling prophecy.  If you don't provide setting specific material, why would someone who uses a campaign setting use your magazine if they have to do a lot of work to convert it?  As you've implied, there are many differences between FR, Greyhawk and Eberron.  IMO it's difficult for a DM to take a series of adventures like Shackled City or a generic module and figure out what role Dragonmarked Houses (with their numerous racial differences), the Last War, the Draconic Prophecy, the magewright economy and other Eberron staples might play in the module.  You could make life so much easier for us and increase the value of your adventures by dedicating just a half a page or so in every issue.  It doesn't seem like too much to ask for.</blockquote>
