My point is that anyone who is a fan either has the books or has not prioritised buying them for low, low prices. There's not a huge audience chomping at the bit for Eberron. Some new people might buy the setting (and become fans) and some old Eberron fans might buy a reprint, but not every Eberron fan will bother re-buying the campaign setting.We got it for several reasons.One, to help make characters that fit the Realms when playing in the storylines.Two, to work with organised play as players in that - many of which are brand new to the game, let alone the Realms - needed something to help them make Realmsian characters.Three, to synergize with the video games (in case they were huge hits)Four, to help people who are playing in the Realms to update their game to the post-Sundering era as the world has changed, so the book tides people over until a larger Realms setting book is released.That's an assumption but it doesn't take much to tweak it. Every world requires some customisation. Eberron needing some changes and advice is nothing special. Dark Sun require so much more. No, you just want them to spend tens of thousand dollars and months of work making a large and expensive product for a small subset of the audience for a very small return. I'd like a Ravenloft boxed set with a cloth map and deck of Tarokka cards.They didn't release a subpar video game. They just licences the IP to a company that turned it into a subpar video game. They took a gamble with whomever would pay the most for the D&D name and it didn't pay off.And given "no one wants to spend money on" SCAG it sure is selling well.Yup. I know. So rather than whine or complain I'm just doing the content myself. I'll be happier with the results that way.But I also know my desires are not always those of the majority and I need to accept not all the content is aimed directly at me. There are a lot of odds and ends n the D&D back catalogue that someone loved more than anything. I'm sure someone out there loved the eff out of Chronomnancy. Or Day of the Comet. Or Birthright. All that has just as much right to be updated as Eberron. If not more as WotC likely wants to retain the trademarks.</blockquote>
