[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7856641, member: 7015558"] Fair. But the 5e content focus on FR isn't exactly diverging people to other setting either. I mean, for goodness sakes, no setting (FR ironically excepted) is going to get much material beyond it's core area, which with D&D's largely Anglo-American origins are all very European inspired. FR has the Sword Coast, Greyhawk has the Flaeness, Eberron has Khorvaire. Sure I want more material for the other areas, but I also understand that books can also be so long, and a few pages more for Xen'drik means a few less pages for Khorvaire. And most people do play in the "core area," so it makes sense they get the most material. What frustrates me here is that FR has [I]by far[/I] the most material in 5e. It's almost certainly going to get more material too. Now considering we are likely only going to get only one setting book per year, can we instead get ones for actually different worlds? I mean, if some of the rumors are true, you're likely going to see upcoming adventures cover places like Lantan and some-far off area like Kara-tur or Al-Qadim. Isn't that better, to get a full Adventure book that actually covers an area deeply, instead of getting another setting book that will cover the non-core area with a handful of pages? Tomb of Annihilation is an AMAZING guide to Chult, and from what I've heard Out of the Abyss is a good guide to the Underdark. Don't you prefer more books like that, instead of a [I]Rising from the Last War[/I], which you mostly already have? [/QUOTE]
