Strange Lands brings Scarred Lands line to a close

[Thornir Alekeg]

First off, my condolences to Nightfall.

I too am disappointed with the ending of this setting (at least until Nightfall convinces S&SS to sell him the rights to it), but there is a lot of good stuff out there. I have no plans to end my campaign in the Scarred Lands anytime soon, and since we are down to playing about four times per year, I should have enough material to last for many, many years.

I guess its time to start saving my milk money and pick up all the supplements that I have not bought yet and am at least somewhat interested in.

On the other hand, I am glad that just about every product was top notch and now it can retire with dignity and grace, giving GMs the tools they need without bogging them down and getting fat and ugly and silly (like Elvis or Forgotten Realms).

Well, there are plenty of us who think they already accomplished that. We argue about which book put the final pound on the bloated carcas, though. Personally, i think it was all the books that came after the gazeteer.

Has anyone actually seen Nightfall since this announcement. I mean we have been talking of the impending doom for a while now, but the shock of the actual statement could have done something to our Scarred Lands Guru. We should go find him or something.

Well, this totally sucks, but not entirely 'news'. The rumors were flying fast for quite sometime. :\

I have to admit some of the product choices left me wondering. Why start on another continent so soon when so much of the main continent wasn't a bit more developed.

Regardless, it's still a great setting, lots of things to do, fabulous support already available and I don't doubt that there might be some 'official' fan-supported sites where we can continue to develop the setting through net-books and what not.

So, let's grieve quickly and see how soon someone can the ok to start fan based material without getting into trouble.

The highly competitive and highly fragmented d20 marketplace leaves us little choice but to do this

When a product fails, is it the markets or the products fault?

Sad news to have it confirmed. SL was a great setting in the beginning, though it went convoluted towards the end.

I'll certainly pick up this last book though.

Sure. That is a fair criticism but I guess what you can take out of my post at this point is that it won't get any worse now, will it?

LOL. True enough. Wanna take bets as to how long it will take Eberron to get to this point?

Well, I think Calastia was the point at which my interest started to wane, but I blame that on the book. I think the class guides was the point at which I decided I simply could not keep up.

He posted a different thread last night. He scooped you all.

For me Hollowfaust was the only book that really came through with how cool the setting was SUPPOSED to be.

Ah good. So he is working it out. Thats good. It could a facade, though. He might be all broken up for real and all. Maybe we should make a support group or something for him? Or at least plan an intervention or something. I got a van.

Just a question: all in all, how many supplements were produced specifically for the Scarred Lands setting? People complain that it disappears, but I guess there must be more than 12 or 15 hardcover books of more than 200 pages, and on various subjects, for the Scarred Lands? (a great deal of money to invest, and hours of gaming huh?)
