Message: <blockquote data-quote="AdmundfortGeographer" data-source="post: 8078338" data-attributes="member: 4682">Not every play style needs to be appreciated by everyone.Not every genre needs to be appreciated by everyone.Not every game edition needs to be appreciated by everyone.Not evert RPG needs to be appreciated by everyone.I have bought game books without ever knowing a hint about the influencing heritage the author drew from, and I liked them still. All that is just to say that a customer can like stuff with no background in what inspired it. I have run games set in Mystara’s Known World and Savage Coast; FR’s Dalelands and The North; Grewyhawk‘s Shield Lands, Highfolk, Vesve Forest and Iuz; and Spelljammer. But mostly my home brew. I have bought all of the 5e setting books with no intent to ever run games in them because I want to to loot ideas for my own games.I have a fondness for Greyhawk (my name is borrowed from there and I’ve spent too many years drawing maps of it) though I doubt I’d run a campaign there I know I’d buy such a 5e product explicitly set there and that shows off the Flanaess (and hopefully a tiny bit more of Oerth) as long as it has something useful to import. Maybe more backgrounds or even a new take on backgrounds, new items and artifacts, new class archetypes, interesting patron groups or villain groups even a new way to run organizations, a fresh update on the exploration pillar, a new way to add warfare to campaigns. Anything kinda like that is enough for me to buy a 5e book regardless of setting and it’ll be enough to get me to buy one for Greyhawk.If WotC can find a hook for a way they can publish a Greyhawk product, they will. If it honors what was published before, cool. But if they progress the setting (I hope they do), cool.</blockquote>
