This is always a potential issue with game metaplot - while you want to keep things fresh, if you change the world too much, or in the wrong way, there's folks who are going to decide you went too far.  They did a major rewrite of the world sociopolitics, and that was a thing I was not looking for them to do. Unfortunately, it basically means that all the setting materials published from this point on... I am apt to avoid.  Given that published modules often grounded in the world plots, I am apt to avoid them too... and thus possibly avoid the 6th edition overall.You posted a review.  I'm giving some feedback based on it.  I'm not looking for you to defend the work, or convince me.  Your review of the work has pretty much done that.</blockquote>
