Older editions have done this by providing a DM-oriented Campaign Setting and a player-oriented Player Guide. An easy solution would be following that model and splitting the various regions or topics in subsections: one dedicated to "what would the average person know?" (so, a presentation of the topic from the perspective of an explorer, adventurer, citizen, faithful, etc...) and the other dedicated to the secrets and more in-depth details. The perspective-based presentation could even be gathered in a booklet on its own, sold in pdf form online and/or in softcover/print of demand format (to avoid forcing players to spend money on the in-depth info that not everyone wants to read). That would guarantee a detailed setting that wouldn't force the DMs to homebrew everything (defeating the point of a setting), while also providing all the choice and an easy introduction to players.With books like Ravnica, according to what I've gathered from this thread, I personally feel like I'm buying flavored smoke, rather than the actual food.</blockquote>
