Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rossbert" data-source="post: 7762003" data-attributes="member: 6922357">Obviously we don't know a lot with the book not out, plus I didn't play the card game enough to know any flavor text (all my knowledge coming from the design pages and the book). But I think the crux of the arguments come down to some people doubting how much a person's kingdom job and neighbors influence their lives, and possibly an overestimation of how much material a setting can realistically have in it first foray into print.Of course Ravnica will have much less than Faerun, Athas, Sigil or Eberron.  It has a couple hundred pages to put forth the important concepts and enough game material to get going. I counted well over a thousand pages of Dark Sun material.   Heck, I had that much Al-Qadim. by last week. Forgotten Realms has more novels than I can count about one person.Ravnica will probably have plenty of stuff to get someone who likes that setting and the themes going but will obviously have a very open landscape to be filled in by players and DMs since they only have the one sourcebook and a handful of small novels.I'm okay with that, in part because I get the idea of Ravnica (and love me some Simic, I wanted to be a genetic engineer when I was younger), and in part because I always felt a little uncomfortable getting into a Forgotten Realms game because I thought I needed to read 20 years of material to know what is going on and what is being referenced.</blockquote>
