[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7392626, member: 6906155"] Given that they have not done any campaign settings for 5e yet, it's impossible to say what they are, or are not doing. Nor is it possible to say what "restrictions" the core game puts on them, because the sample size is one. Which parts of the game are "core" and which are not? IMO they really don't even need to stick to fantasy. If you look in the DMG, even things like core attributes are up for grabs - they suggest two others - and there are basic rules for gunpowder and SF weapons. That's in a "core" rulebook. If their idea of a "campaign setting" is just a list of countries, kingdoms and histories in a pseudo-medieval setting, they can keep it - I'm not interested. If it's Metamorphis Alpha 5e, then I'm pre-ordering immediately. Pathfinder did it successfully, D&D can do it too. Consider Spelljammer. You can argue that every race is in Spelljammer, and you would be correct. However, every race does not exist on every world in the Spelljammer universe. There isn't much point in seeking out new life and new civilisations if every world has the same life and civilisations! Having different races is one of the key requirements to making a campaign setting distinct. [/QUOTE]
