I hope Eberron is a flop. Am I evil?

[dead]

I'm sure Eberron is a great campaign and folks are having loads of fun with it but dead wishes nothing but evil for the setting.

dead wants the money-making machine called WotC-MegaCorp to really make a loss on this one.

dead wants them to realise that they've got enough great settings up their Armani shirt sleeves without having to churn out new material.

These are the secret thoughts of dead.

Am I evil?

------------------------------
If I were WotC, I'd re-release:

Mystara -- heeeeeeeaps of material here. And a decent fanbase, I think. You could also re-release all the old modules. Don't bother updating them in a new timeline, just present them as is with 3E rules. (WotC has an obsession with updating timelines.)

Spelljammer -- just as a one-off book; a "campaign-option" if you like.

Planescape -- also a one-off "campaign-option" book.

Greyhawk -- if GH is gonna be the *default* setting, then I think it should get support just like FR -- otherwise make FR the default setting! A recent poll on EN World showed us the GH is just as popular as FR. I don't know, maybe there's just a lot of old-school folk on EN World.

Am I evil?

Nope, just wrong.

 

[Greydt]

Evil? No.
Bitter & Jealous? Probably.

 

[dead]

Nope, just wrong.

Is it selling well?

 

[dead]

Evil? No.
Bitter & Jealous? Probably.

Bitter: Yes

Jealous: Naw

 

[dren]

dead isn't evil.

he may not have kindness in his heart, but thats a whole different story.

as someone who will not be buying eberron, but also did I nor will I buy forgotten realms, I hope the setting does well and makes the parent company money hands over fist. I hope I'm not evil either.

Naieve, maybe.

Why does one thing's success have to mean something else's failure? Can't you just be happy for me?? *runs away sobbing*

 

[Wormwood]

Is it selling well?

I hope so (and given the internet's addiction to schadenfreude, I'm sure we'd know if Eberron was a flop by now).

 

[mhacdebhandia]

You're not evil, Dead. You're just misguided to believe that Wizards would turn to their older settings if Eberron failed. They have two more settings they own the rights to, and they could always revert to supporting the Forgotten Realms alone and concentrating on generic sourcebooks and supplements instead.

 

[Bran Blackbyrd]

Ignorant? Maybe.
Insensitive? Perhaps.
Petty? Almost certainly.

Evil? I wouldn't go that far. Keep trying though, all journeys begin with a single step.

EDIT: Although anyone who wants to see a 3E Planescape book produced can't be all bad.
