[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7972261, member: 7015558"] I mean, the first Kara-tur product was called [I]Oriental Adventures[/I]. Good luck launching a product with that title today. So no I don't think Kara-tur is racist, but it's also not exactly a good representation of Asian fantasy either. And I only find Tarkir [I]marginally[/I] better because there were at least some female writers who helped create it. If an Asian setting was actually created, I think it would be best served if it was completely original, or at least an old setting handed to Asian developers who have the ability to redesign it top to bottom if they so choose. Now again, I think if the choice was a setting book for Kara-tur or Tarkir, Wizard's would pick the latter. Especially since there seems to be no interest in an FR setting book at all from their team, and hasn't been one since the SCAG, while there will be two Magic settings in three years. I could see Kara-tur being featured (if it's redesigned) in an adventure, much like Chult was. But it supplanting any Magic setting from getting a book is frankly ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
