[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7896901, member: 518"] All true. Sadly- after WOTC's buyout of TSR* there was a decided shift to the Rules informing the Game World, instead of The Game World informing the Rules- which just gives us a whole lot of samey-settings because we wouldn't want to anger any players whose character race/class desire doesn't fit in with an old setting. Can't have any of that :rolleyes: *Sure we can say that it happened with the ToT in FR and all it's dumb changes because of 2E. But all the settings that came after in 2E were highly specialized and had a great many core elements removed/eliminated/not available in order to make the setting unique RL, BR, DS, SJ, PS, etc. 3E backpedaled, and so did 4E- and now with 5E , gotta make everything in the PHB canon for every bit of WOTC IP- it's all a part of the " shared experience" Boring.
