[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 7666966, member: 7635"] So nobody bought the Forgotten Realms, Eberron, or Dark Sun books for 4e? I can see an argument for not producing a new Mystara setting or leaving Jackandor alone, but WotC literally is throwing money away to discuss old settings? Jeez, I guess the Christmas layoffs must have paid for that UA Eberron article then. [INDENT][/INDENT] Again, I don't ever expect a Darokin Gazetteer book, or The Factol's Manifesto, or even Scarlet Brotherhood sourcebook. But SOMETHING to refresh. Give me a web article, or the oft-mentioned "Worlds of D&D" book. Don't tell me D&D's strength is its settings, then say "but we're not touching that strength, you're on your own." I don't want Princes of the Apocalypse or Hoard/Rise of Tiamat. Guess they shouldn't have produced them. It'd be nice to have that info in one place, rather than scouring the internet for nuggets dropped. Ah yes. The time-honored "do it yourself" Well thank's WotC.
