[QUOTE="PMárk, post: 6767807, member: 6804619"] I was also thrilled about the mentioning of various settings in the corebooks, that is mainly why I'm patient with them, because it seems they want to do something with them. The question is: what and when? If I have to wait for a XY setting book I'm interested in for 3-4 or more years, because they want to solidify the brand and playerbase with the most-safe brand (again this is understandable on itself), I would say, please try an alternative choice. There are tons of edition-independent material out there, so just do shorter conversion pdfs. Or if they don't even want to do that in reasonable future, outsorcing. How beneficial or wise it would be? If they [I]want[/I] to do something with them, please do! If not, sitting on the IPs just pisses off the fanbase as the bajillion threads testifies and sends gamers to alternative games or 3rd party settings. There are already lots them on the market, so I think supporting (or outsorcing the supporting of) the original DnD ones would be good at least for satisfy the said fanbase. And it would bolster the donwloading of older material for the fluff from WotC and also the 5E corebook sales and FR-independent supplement sales. I don't think it would cut in half the AP and FR books sales, because the main support would be still for them, including AP, AL, novels etc. so FR would remain the most-recognized and played setting of DnD. We have a proverb for this in Hungary: The goat gets enough to eat and the cabbage also remains. [/QUOTE]
