[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 9552337, member: 6921294"] From 1992 until 1995 I didn't play either. I do recall going into a hobby store in sometime between 1990 and 1993 and seeing all the new and strange campaign settings and thinking this isn't the D&D I remember. But when I got back into the hobby 1995-1996 or so, a friend of mine had played in the Forgotten Realms prior to playing with us so we bought the box set and that became our default setting for a long time, even though we did stints in Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, etc. Yeah there was a lot to choose from and could be overwhelming but at that time, I always looked at the many products as a good thing. Most of it was pretty unique. Nowadays in 5E besides the MtG settings (which feel half-baked and under supported to me), I can't really think of anything that's really new setting wise. Most is just a rehash of older editions settings. A far as I can remember the last real new setting was Eberron. If I had my way I'd want WotC to create a truly new campaign setting, one which they actually support beyond its initial release. [/QUOTE]
