[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9436377, member: 7034611"] And? It sold well off the back of the books that came before it, not in its own right. Even if it did that does not contradict anything I said about it splitting the fanbase and future D&D editions returning DL to before AoM as that was the one the fans were mostly interested in. no worries, I do not like it one bit it did kill it though. Had they taken a different direction the setting might have survived, just like FR did through all its upheavals. They did not have to throw the baby out with the bathwater while trying to find a future for the setting that went beyond the war The two are pretty intertwined, given that the attempt to move the setting past that failed so hard. I understand why they would want to move past the war itself, there are only so many stories you can tell about the war, they could have handled that way better though, instead they killed the setting.
