[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 8044358, member: 6895991"] I do not feel attacked, the old stuff is available still, and good DMs know that and will use it, and convert it. The regular player of a newer generation will not realize, where the fuzz some of us old grognards make about some setting comes from, unless they do an in depth comparison using the older game editions. I would not call it "let it die", and you might have noticed, in the general material (DMG, PHB) they still refer to "outdated " setting material like GHK DL and DS. It is rather the following (and I admit that motivation is a bit personal): My current players are an in between generation, they started wit ha bit of 1e 2e did loads of 3e and some 4e but never did Darksun. So if there is an official material available which throws over board all the good assumptions and restrictions and old school style, then it gets much harder for me to introduce my well thought out homebrew solutions for this topic. As for the story continuation, DS never had this intense story line that other settings had, other than the main thing with Kalak and Draegoth etc. So you have to wing story a bit anyway, so even for that I do not need new stuff because I think some of the old stuff is great, and my players do not know it. So my reasons a re selfish to a point and "idealistic" to another [/QUOTE]
