[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9555030, member: 7006"] Lore is there to be ignored. If it turns out you actually want to use it, great! But otherwise... you're going to be making up your own world's lore anyway, so ignore the lore the book puts in and install your own. It's not that big a deal. This is just one more place in Dungeons & Dragons where I think too many players have their egos tied into this game so tightly that if they don't get the pat on the head wherein the book is written to give them exactly what [I]they[/I] want (regardless of what the millions of other people in the playerbase might need or want)... then they get bent out of shape and say that the designers are bad or lazy or stupid. (General) you want the old AD&D lore about goblins and not what appears in the 5E24 MM? Then use it. You own the book... you have that lore at your fingertips... (general) you don't need it [B]reprinted[/B] in the new Monster Manual [I]again[/I]. That is unless of course (general) you just can't stand the thought that this game wasn't made [I]specifically for you[/I] anymore and you've been "left behind" (a rather ridiculous attitude if I do say so myself.)
