[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 8583256, member: 6807784"] Even if this is a lighter setting, and if we've had other lighter adventures, I just can't wrap my head around what people's issue is. Why is everyone so offended that we get a series of lighter, more fun, more palatable adventures? Why is it wrong for 5E to want to sell the books a portion of its demographic wants? Why do so many people on this forum complain specifically about the fact that D&D is a game for everyone and not just for them? The book hasn't come out. I'm not very excited for it, but it sounds good. It sounds like it was a made with PASSION. The people who worked on it sound excited to share their cultures with the world, and for EVERYONE to interact with it however they choose through the book. I mean for god's sake, they even say that the 12 Cultures all have problems! Sometimes they war with each other! Sometimes, those worlds face problems! You deal with them, come back to the Radiant Citadel, and chill for a bit then go to the next one. And it isn't like a hub is some insane new "soft and cuddly" idea. All the Dark Souls games have a hub, and those games are BLEAK, SCARY, AND LETHAL. Having a hub is just another way to have some much needed rest between adventures, explore some characterizaiton, and be human for a while. It gets rid of the problem where everything feels like a 3 month adventure because weeks or months can be spent AT the hub, which is a complaint everyone has had so far!! Like, what do you people want??? Just accept that you don't have to buy WotC books ALL THE TIME. You DON'T HAVE TO BUY WOTC BOOK. Most of you are 30+, have been playing multiple editions, and have so much material tht you could run games for the REST of your lives without problem. Its some of you are SO ADDICTED to buying whatever WotC puts out, that when they release a product you don't like, you have a complete meltdown and start doom-saying how WotC is going to naughty word because they care about their WHOLE audience and not just you. Does htis mean every first party book has been good? No. And normally I'm all about complaining about WotC and their books. But the complaints in this thread have just been so ironically childish and utterly entitled that I am flabbergasted. 51 pages of people looking at press releases and a few videos and coming to the conclusion that this is one of the worst things for the hobby yet.
