[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7706331, member: 7006"] I wonder what the Venn diagram is between people who think publishing [I]Yawning Portal[/I] is lazy, and those people who desperately want a 5E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book? Cause seeing as how a FRCS book would be pretty much a cut and paste from the information they've already written in SKT, SCAG, the 4E setting book, and part of the 3E book for those far-flung sections of Faerun that barely anyone knows about let alone actually run campaigns in so it doesn't matter WHAT information you included there... you could consider doing both books just as lazy. So I wonder how many people are talking out of both sides of their mouth when they say they need one but are pissed about the other? ;) This also goes to show how inane everyone is when it comes to searching for information. Someone goes looking for upcoming D&D info... they find this obscure bit of a title with absolutely no context tucked away in the part of the internet that probably was not meant for general release... people start speculating up the wazoo about what this title could possibly mean and fan-cast their beloved publishing scenarios... and then when it is revealed to be something else they get all pissed at WotC over it that they didn't get what they were fantasizing about. Whereas if people just waited for information when WotC chose to announce it, a lot of those same people probably wouldn't be nearly as annoyed. It's the "WotC cancelled a product they never actually announced!" bullcrap all over again. And goes to show that some people will whine about ANYTHING. [/QUOTE]
