I don't want mango icecream, but am don't care if it gets made. Some Eberron and Forgotten Realms adventures and articles are quite specific to those realms, as long as the future products for Nentir Vale are not like that, it is fine. All of my PCs in the game I DM are from far away lands. The two humans jumped through a portal chasing a known criminal (Kalarn from Keep on the Shadowfell), the two dwarves were having a bucks party, got black out drunk, briefly remember looking down on the world and falling and ended up in Nentir (I have decided they caught a lift with the mage from the Head in the Clouds Chaos Scar adventure, though they don't remember it). None of them know where they are and the people of Nentir are not well travelled enough to tell them the direction to their homelands. Originally I tired to place this inside the Forgotten Realms world. The problem with that is that everyone wants to know where they are in relation to the world, they then ask about the surrounding kingdoms.  "Where do the elves live around here?" "Is the neighbouring kingdom friendly?" "If we are wanted, let's just go to that land over there until we can clear our names" "What gods are around, how was the world made?" All of these questions made me spend far more time having to read up on a world that I had no intention of placing adventures within. In addition, my players don't want to read up on source material, I used a great link to a whole bunch of history about Nentir and the inhabitants and just gave them that. They knew the history of the place in about 2-3 pages. I would like to see more adventures and settings similar to the Nentir Vale. What about an Island, with its own history, geography and maps? Then they could produce some adventures that could either be slotted into that island or the Nentir Vale, with minimal changes.</blockquote>
