Everybody else who DMs and isn't using purchased setting books (like FR, or Eberron), has to make up their own setting, why can't you? I, in my entire time DMing D&D 3e and 3.5e, referenced older artwork for both monsters and equipment. And my halflings have always been hobbit-like, both in appearance and culture, despite what the 3e books described. It wasn't much work, really.As for designing new versions of monsters, given the guidelines that are supposed to be present for designing monsters, it sounds a lot simpler in 4e than in 3e, and yet I managed in 3e. DMing is work. 4e stands to lower the amount of work involved, but it'll still be work. I don't understand why that would be an issue.</blockquote>
