[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9512284, member: 7033171"] But why does it need to be part of a core book. Publish a "behind the scenes" article, a post mortem, whatever, something for the people who are interested in the design process. But appendix N comes with so many contentions and discussions, why is this in there, can I run D&D based on something that is not in there, old players being angry about modern inclusions like anime, new players being confused about old inclusions they never head about etc. pp. And even from the defenders of appendix, I have not read a single comment in this thread "yeah, I took inspiration from Appendix N. I had no idea for my own, read some stuff and it inspired my campaign". Everyone is like "its interesting, I got some nice books out of it - never used it in my campaign though". You don't need the DMG to get fantasy book recommendations. And again most DMs already have their inspiration, their idea of the type of fantasy they want to run. And if they need inspiration - most get it from the internet. Just leave that relic behind. Which they already did. And appereantly already did for 3th and 4th edition too! I learned that from this thread. So 2014 5e DMG was the single exception of including Appendix N for the last 24 years. [/QUOTE]
