[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6761563, member: 12731"] I certainly don't believe WotC will ever say "from now on Greyhawk is a continent on Toril, and anyone playing it like a world of its own is doing it wrong." no. But this does not mean I advise you to hold your breath regarding a campaign book for your favorite world, since what I did say was that it's possible Wotc will only explicitly support Forgotten Realms for the foreseeable future. And that if your campaign world of choice is not FR you will have to make do with a combination of three kinds of support: 1) UA style Web support (such as those mariner minotaurs) 2) Choice bits and pieces from official supplements (such as perhaps reusing the Purple Knight as your world's Warlord) 3) Campaign guides and adventures set in your world from previous editions that you yourself update (or find on fan sites) Point being: the time when WotC released supplements that explicitly excluded parts of the customer base (by virtue of being created for any given campaign world that isn't FR) is in the past. And that I believe WotC thinks it gets more sales from supplements grounded in A world than generic supplements not tied to any particular world, which means: All supplements will be tied to FR. No supplements will ever explicitly say "does not work with Greyhawk" (replace Greyhawk with Dark Sun, or Birthright, or Kalamar etc per your preference) [/QUOTE]
