You're kind of illustrating this here as a lot of your elevator pitches are descriptive but totally fail to convey why those settings are good, or why anyone would want to play them. Some are deeply misleading or outright wrong (Theros is particularly bad).I'm not talking about 1st level only, so that's kind of a silly comparison. Lots of weird things happen at levels 1-3.So you're going to go your entire career without Advantage, when Advantage is a key part of what makes GWM so competitive? Talking about cutting off your nose to spite your face.These are much better elevator pitches than the last bunch, because you're focusing on "why" vs. merely being descriptive, but you're really proving my point about how elevator pitches are trash, and the fact that your PS pitch is so weak when the setting is so amazing is a particularly good example. As is the fact that the Spelljammer pitch is great when the setting is deeply mediocre (indeed, there's not much more to it - if I gave you a paragraph you could probably cover the whole thing!). Loads of brilliant stuff just can't be sold via elevator pitch.</blockquote>
