[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7899761, member: 6785785"] Sure, I get that. I don’t know if not having the old material is a significant obstacle given how easily and cheaply all that material can be had. But the question of how to update it is the question. Honestly, I think that’s more of a challenge for WotC than for any individual fan. I mean, I’ve used many of the settings in my 5E game (there’s a lot of world hopping) and I just present the settings in a way that I consider best. WotC will have to somehow please a myriad of fans for each setting, each with their own take on what matters most to the setting, and what should or should not be included. That’s gonna be tough to pull off. Yeah, AL play and similar games benefit from having set materials to use. This is one of the stronger reasons for the request for old settings, in my opinion. And I agree that it’s not about laziness. I’d never say that someone is lazy for asking for a setting guide rather than doing all that work themselves. But, in the absence of an official setting guide, I think people can manage without needing to do as much work as it seems, if they really want to play in a specific setting. It doesn’t need to be a 300 page book, when you get down to it. [/QUOTE]
