[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5786885, member: 17106"] Creating my own world back in my high school days really got me into the game. I continue to use various recycled elements because I like continuity and I think I set down some good principles. I really tried to take the core D&D elements (from 3e) and build a world around them, and I use most of the races/classes/etc. with a few major changes. It wasn't the biggest factor, but the radical setting philosophy change did help to dissuade me from 4e. Getting people to take creative ownership of their game is one of the best and most cost-effective ways of developing a customer base, more so than trying to support multiple settings or throw all your eggs into one kitchen sink. Not everyone is willing or able to do this kind of work, but those who are should definitely be supported and encouraged. Even those who run an existing setting may need help customizing it to their needs. I hope they support worldbuilding strongly in the DMG, and publish something like the 3e MotP (still one of the best books; a great combination of classic stories and inspiration, tools, and options) early on.
