So why didn't WotC release a setting based on Magic the Gathering?

[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3097111, member: 4134"] I don't like Eberron. I don't buy it, I don't play it. I don't associate it with D&D, but it can work. A lot of things work with D&D. I think MtG would, too. I am so grateful that they used Rokugan. Without that, I'd probably never have found out about Rokugan, which is one of my favourite campaign settings and roleplaying games, too. I think he meant me. I hate older editions. In the case of 1e, there's no special reason, I hate it just because. 2e I hate because of the idiots I was forced to play with. I don't know. They turned the Legend of the Five Rings trading card game into a Roleplaying Game, and it rocks. Big time. You should read those rules, you seem to have no idea what you're talking about. How would you apply a metamagic feat to a feat? Its metamagic, not metafeat. A lot of hatred for things stems from not knowing it properly. Well-known fact. Sometimes its also just the wrong people, like old 2e players who lived under the tyranny of the restriction-based AD&D 2e-ruleset too long and then were released into the choice-based 3e ruleset, and immediately go powergamer. I saw that happen a couple of times. Try to get hold of some players who use, rather than misuse, the choice-driven rules in order to create the character they want. Do they have a whole department responsible for coming up with crap like this, or is it just a couple of guys? Or do other people there do that sort of thing during lunch break. And they wanted to draw and quarter him for it. I think I still have a scan of their want ad for "4 strong horses, for quartering a RPG/TDG heretic with". Really, take a look at L5R. It was made into a roleplaying game (into its 3rd edition now), and also ported it to d20. I don't know whether it angried too many D&D players (other than those who'd rather have had Kara-Tur), or many trading card gamers, but it did pretty much corner the Wuxia RPG market. They should make it D20 Magic: The Gathering, rather than the Magic: The Gathering Campaign setting - so it's not really D&D - and see whether they can manage to get a small percentage of the vast MtG community to play RPGs. Could be that they actually get thousands of Magic people to try out the new "spin-off game" and BAM! Next generation of roleplayers is recruited. [/QUOTE]
