Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 8516161" data-attributes="member: 2209">I would disagree.I think the 4e default setting Dawn War Cosmology was very popular. While a lot of 4e was thrown out in 5e (character and monster roles, character and monster design, GSL, rapid printing schedule, tone), the setting cosmology was very much kept. Feywild, Shadowfell, and Elemental Chaos are very much core 5e.Didn't it go year 1 FR, year 2 Eberron, year 3 Dark Sun?The old everything in one multiverse was gone in 3e. Rokugon was its own non great wheel comology, and so was Eberron. 3e also pushed stuff like FR was its own great tree cosmology that was not straight up Great Wheel and 3.5 Dragonlance seemed less than a perfect match with the Great Wheel.Some things were different, a lot was the same. Demons were corrupted elementals instead of outer planar stuff, but there was still the blood war and demons were capital E Evil.I very much recognized a through line of D&D throughout all the editions despite changes in each one.I very much disliked the GSL and was disappointed WotC did not put out a 4e srd under the OGL. It was one of the reasons I did not check out 4e right away. I would not say though that WotC not using the OGL in 4e did away with the OGL. I was buying new OGL stuff throughout the 4e era. I got a lot of 3.5 and Pathfinder stuff in that time frame thanks to the OGL.That I agree with.That did not feel that long to me, FR was pretty quick out of the gate in both 3e and 4e and one world/setting a year seemed part of the advertised publishing plan they were pushing.I'd have to double check how many issues into 4e it was before we had an FR article.</blockquote>
