[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 9583409, member: 67296"] First, I would select a setting and a meta-region within that setting. Probably the Sword Coast in Forgotten Realms because BG3 and Honor Among Thieves and Drizzt. Also, we’re kind of there already. Make it a solid gazetteer book mixing geography, demography, cultures, and and plot hooks. No adventure yet. Then I would re-issue the PHB and MM and lean [I]heavily[/I] on the lore of that setting. Aside to that, publish a free SRD-type document for PC species/class and monsters without any fluff. It’s made dry on purpose; please spend your money on t he nice, lavish, expensive published books. Then, publish another gazetteer of a different meta-region. Spend a good part of the book adjusting the fluff from the PHB and MM to that region. Use it as a how-to-guide with complete examples. Then publish another settings that shatters all the assumptions and fluff of the PHB and MM without affecting rules. I feel Eberron would fit nicely. Again, use this book as a how-to-guide for a whole setting. Expand from there publishing small, inexpensive gazetteer booklets and larger setting books. Use adventures to ciment that FR uses PHB and MM content as presented but other setting deviate heavily from those assumptions. And finally, get fired because the company is now going bankrupt… [/QUOTE]
