[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8224899, member: 93670"] Eberron is a perfect example of why it's not that simple. The eberron community had been bringing mechanics forward to 5e for years before wayfinders and much of it was slightly incompatible with wayfinders in different ways just as they were slightly different ways of bringing things forward into a system often designed to fight against the inclusion of that sort of thing being brought forward. The datsun community is already in the same boat with different people trying to bring things forward in different ways with wotc's lack of support making it more complicated and less compatible.5e tried to design against the needs of settings that differ from fr baselines so wotc needs to somehow support those settings in 5e before the communities can hold their nose over cherished missing bits and put lush for a good enough stable point of reference Edit:5e eberron drew a lot from the community work and its discussions (which is hood) and the 5e eberron is a great presentation but 5e is still 5e and there are still a lot of areas where wotc wasn't willing to change things away from the fr specific version or rebuild existing mechanics. One of the easiest examples is languages going from default setting pub to something more setting appropriate like this [URL unfurl="true"]http://keith-baker.com/lightning-round-2-26-18-languages-elementals-and-pirates/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
