[QUOTE="Jer, post: 6985996, member: 19857"] How can it be dead when every adventure published so far - including every Adventurer's League adventure produced so far - has used the Realms as the default setting? And the only player-facing rules expansion published to date is a Realms-specific product that really is of limited use to anyone who isn't playing in the Realms? There has been more Realms stuff published for 5th edition than any other setting that Wizards owns. I can see the case for Eberron fans saying that Eberron is dead (I don't see it myself - it's stuck in the Wizards equivalent of the "Disney Vault" to be rolled out at a later date, but "that is not dead which can eternal lie" as the Bard might say if the Bard were a mad 8th century Arab). But the Realms is nowhere near dead. It's not even dying. At worst you can say that it's slowed down. But as far as adventuring material goes there might be more "at the table" stuff published for the Realms for 5th edition than there ever was for 4th edition (even if you include the Dungeon and Dragon material published for 4e Realms). If not then give it another year and there probably will be - unless Wizards decides to switch directions on their Adventure Paths and open up some more worlds. Which I find unlikely at this stage in the game. [/QUOTE]
