[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7162216, member: 7006"] Personally, if WotC ever decides to do new "campaign setting" books... I think they'd be better off not putting any game mechanics or statistics in them at all. Make them all purely history and story. That way they never actually have to update them ever again, especially when they do move on to 6E. Then, you make one single book that gives the specific game mechanics for each of those settings they've now released in their own individual chapter... talking about which classes and races are best to be used, how they might be different from a standard D&D game, and add in any extra classes, races, subraces, backgrounds and whatnot that are specific to each setting. That way... when 6E does get released, they only need to publish a new setting mechanics book, rather than have to copy/paste all the unchanging story sections that are really 95% of the setting books anyway.
