SCAG is a book for an existing campaign setting, the Forgotten Realms. Right? So if it didn't cover stuff from that campaign setting, it'd be a new campaign setting with FR branding, yes? And people would moan and bitch about that. (Of course, they are anyway. Ya can't win.)2) In addition to missing the point of the book, you're incorrect in that SCAG does give us material we won't find in previous editions' renditions of the FR -- specifically, 5th edition rules updates for things unique to that setting. Which was initially why I bought it.3) And finally, I'm not going to go out and buy FR books for previous editions I'm not interested in playing. (Especially since I've read some of them already and none of them interested me.) That in itself makes the book worth a purchase, even if 100% of the fluff is recycled from previous books.. which it isn't, because the book advances the setting's timeline. Not only will I use this, SCAG will prompt me to buy future FR material for 5E up to its standard.The book does what it's supposed to do. It covers the FR for the current edition of D&D. I understand the internet is made for complaining, but you really should have legitimate reasons to do so, and not complaining the book does what's intended.</blockquote>
