[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 7748583, member: 7635"] This is like complaining you don't like the food you're being served, but won't cook for yourself. Either eat what's available, make your own, or starve. If you lack the time, energy or ability to make your own, then don't expect WotC to make exactly what your heart desires. WotC has been fairly consistent with its offerings: aside from two semi-off books (Strahd and Portal, both still having Realms tie-ins) all of their APs are set firmly in the Realms. To me, this perfectly mimics Paizo setting all of their APs in Golarion (which nobody complains about). Yeah, they've bandied about the names of Eberron, Spelljammer and Dark Sun, but at this point are we REALLY surprised that they are sticking with the Realms? I'm not. They've not even touched a 10th of that setting nor the genres they can emulate with it. As for the DM's Guild, I'm patiently waiting for them to do some type of "multiverse" book that lays the baseline for many of the other worlds and then open them up to the DM's Guild. I think they want to control the core elements first though so as not to have 3000 unofficial warforged races out there. It also appears to be a much lower priority item than most thought it would be. It sucks, but again, either live with what you're given or go do your own thing. [/QUOTE]
