Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9357918" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Yes you did Every example you gave was "elf" and "Goliath", "elves live here, goliaths live there" "elves act this way, goliaths act that way" So since you need to do it for elves and goliaths in the same way... what's the difference?Sure, you can answer a question with a few words if you really want, but that seems to cause an issue, doesn't it? Because they picked Greyhawk, according to you, then they will have far too much to explain and showcase. But also, according to you, the level of information they really need is only two sentences per race to cover everything? Do you think after writing the handful of paragraphs describing Goliaths in the PHB, that the designers would be incapable of writing these sentences you are demanding? And would anyone be happy if the entirety of all elves across all of greyhawk was reduced to a mere sentence? I mean, you are the one demanding these things are problems, but then your solutions are so bare-bones and simple... are they even issues?Interesting. They are going to teach people to show off the world they have made to others? Or, is making the world the actual action of world-building? Kind of hard to tell with your facepalm which one you think is world-building and which isn't.I'm sure you did not say those exact words. But you have repeatedly framed the choice of greyhawk as a mistake, a grave one, one that could have been avoided if they just did things the way you would have done them. You have never ackowledged a single good point about their choice, instead declaring that WoTC is now going to have to spend far too much time explaining things about the setting... like the single sentence you would demand to explain Goliaths, which I guess wouldn't be needed in a new setting that has never been made before? Sure, I can be a little hyperbolic, but you keep cycling to these same "big issues" then when we say they are easily taken care of and there is no reason to suspect they are really major issues, you double down, and then you offer a trivial solution that is laughably easy to implement. And, I will reiterate my position. They had good reasons to pick Greyhawk. We have no reason to assume this chapter will fail at its intended goal. That is it. That is my entire position which you keep stringently arguing against.</blockquote>
