[QUOTE="Barantor, post: 7703822, member: 6778128"] Games Workshop was churning out a lot back in the day too, but I think it has as much to do with the economy as anything nowadays. I remember when there was a Games Workshop official store in a lot of major cities... but I digress. I said they killed them off, I stand by that. They had to kill them off to funnel down to one setting which they could focus on. I'm wondering now if they are going to change their tune or do something that surprises us all, but I would rather them not just dump everything in Forgotten Realms. Hopefully Ravenloft showed them that they don't have to. Most of the guys I game with are younger than I am and don't even really remember Greyhawk that much. Two of them remember that there was a Living Greyhawk campaign, but weren't involved in it. Most of them have more exposure to D&D through video games than anything else and the only modern Video Game not set in Forgotten Realms is D&D Online, which now has a portal to..... Forgotten Realms lol. Even if it was just "Here is a book with all those other settings" or hell even a UA article on them, people like me would eat it up. Right now I'm reading through Volo's and a lot of the monster lore in the beginning feels like it is cemented in Forgotten Realms fairly solidly. To me that is a pity as even though it is an interesting read, I will probably have to change it and they didn't even pay lip service to other settings with an appendix like they have in the past. I'm not asking for much at this point, just would be nice to add in stuff about Dark Sun, Greyhawk, Mystara and Dragonlance. [/QUOTE]
