[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9511515, member: 7034611"] SKT covers about the biggest region of all of them. That one definitely is half setting, half adventure (and by most accounts works better as a setting guide than as an adventure). I guess if these were doubling down on being setting guides as well and not predominantly adventures that could work too for some - or maybe it works worse as an adventure then, never heard much good about the SKT one By offering a separate setting guide, at least you can focus on that and people that want that do not get 80% adventure they did not want in the first place. For those that want a gazetteer with their AP, they can keep buying the APs and ignore the setting book altogether. There is not a one size fits all solution to this, nor does there need to be one. WotC creates a variety of adventures with different themes, why not create a variety of book ‘types’ (AP, setting guide, …), why would it have to be AP with a small gazetteer tacked on all the time… they did setting books before, they have some coming up for FR, would not mind them for other worlds too (and for those other worlds to not be a once and done case, as they mostly are as of today) [/QUOTE]
