[QUOTE="Ratskinner, post: 5813188, member: 6688937"] Which is why it shouldn't have been in there in the first place. I'd rather pay $20-$40 for a book or box containing all the information I'd want about a setting, than $20-$40 for a product telling me how to get a small piece of their default setting out of my game, and 120 pages of stuff I'll never use or didn't want in the first place. Your example is only for Divine characters...heaven (or a wealthy friend) help us if we needed to pick up one for each major character type. Its far far better (and I would not resent it, even if I never used it) for the DMG to have chapters on quickly building a basic setting, or even how to build a complex one. Especially if those chapter have mechanical insight into what might unbalance the game. If they want a "home" setting for the game, pop them out with the starting adventures. That should [U]really [/U] help the time-crunched/inexperienced DM. [/QUOTE]
