[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7175474, member: 6895991"] Dear [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION], I will try to show my view with a comparison (no not cars :) ) I do not DM. FR atm I did back in 2e and I enjoyed it. It had Drow, Underdark, MAgic dead and Wildmagic zones, Waterdeep detailed out a good city boxed set, undermountain etc. I play in FR atm Out of the abyss and I enjoy it. But would I to be dming FR I would use my old 2e grey box stuff and convert it. I am no way an absolute canon freak. But I loved the diversity of the settings DS RL Krynn FR back in 2e. Each had its own super special features yes even FR. These days they warm up old stories like they do with many films and try to fit them into FR. For some of the vanilla content it is no big problem e.g. ToEE and such pretty generic things. But imagine this philosophy "One world - everything goes" would be applied to a redo of darksun in the form of putting it into the anauroch desert. Every race class paladins whatever can be played. Otoh you now have cannibalistic halflings running through Waterdeep the Lords of the city will surely be tolerant in the name of no restriction. I think í do not have to be clearer in what I mean, a setting is in part defined in how restrictive it might be on certain issues may that be no orcs , no water for DS, magic of the moons for krynn, paladins are like a shining lighthouse to domain lords in RL etc. And it is what gave these settings an unique feel to dm or play within, it was not your usual tool box or assumptions it was different and it was and still is great. Let us instead of accelerating WOTCs "Lets take the best of old setting and put it into the realms (Ironically CoS with Bavoria is located in the FR when it still was on the prime!)" think about creative ways to make DS possible with the absolutely great 5E ruleset. Lets think about whether Templar should be WL or Cleric or if a new subclass for barb is a good approach to Gladiator class, or how to implement halfgiants and thrikreen those issues still give me headaches, but instead the discussion here is how to shoehorn drow and dragonborn to a setting where they would fit like we say in Germany "like a fist to the eye" [/QUOTE]
