[QUOTE="evildmguy, post: 3361607, member: 6092"] And maybe the idea is that I won't be "competing" with anyone on what the world is anymore. It's mine and only mine. I can still find ideas for it on the web but I won't have to worry about anything shiny and new from a publisher. I also agree that getting motivation on the major players and spelling it out, instead of crunch and some vague rumors about what they might be doing would be a lot better. Again, going back to Dark Sun, they totally LIED about what the Dragon was in the main boxed set. The descriptions have it as an angry beast but it has a high INT! Further, they talk about how it ravages the land, destroying everything in its path. That's one of those true but false things and given what else they said, makes it more false. Knowing the story behind the dragon has made it so much more interesting and viable to go back to main boxed set and set a campaign then. Knowing the story behind all of the characters has made them all more real, even if it also made them more messed up. Again, it's too bad that we can't get that kind of a world in the first place, instead of after fifty products on it are out. Ah, well. Thanks for all of the replies! Have a good one! Take care! edg [/QUOTE]
