[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 7385482, member: 6667921"] Oh, I find value in it. Mostly tongue-in-cheek humor, but I got a legit response for it. So thank you for that! I don't play 5e, not because it's bad but because it has little appeal for me. It doesn't offer anything new for a system I've been playing for decades. So, naturally, reviving a setting that might be of interest to me could be inticing... If it were not going to be done specifically for the system, which has to date stayed very close to it's original design goals of what I like to call "playing it safe." And even if does happen, which is historically a small and elongated event, then most likely it will not receive the support and development it deserves, particularly for a setting that deserves distinction as something wholly unique and different and, dare I say, stand alone. That said, if some awesome setting is revived and captures my fancy, the best scenario is that it opens up potential to see something great come about through DM Guild. But still trapped in the shallow, but functional chassis of 5e, may still not be enough. My input stands. If a setting returns specifically to accommodate the 5e engine, which will be a terrific treat for anyone who is truly enjoying the system, it will not likely affect me because I don't have a use for anything tied closely to the system. I may have better things to do, sure. But just as you can spend your time responding to who and what you choose, I do like is and not worry so much if my time and effort is wasted. It is, but we do it anyway. Now ask me why I bother posting here in the first place. :) [/QUOTE]
