[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6249343, member: 11697"] Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. :) After the design decisions that went into 4e's cosmology and the way it impacted campaign settings published during that period, I'm going to remain incredibly cautious until I see a printed product. At that point I'll be able to judge the approach 5e takes. I still have a lot of love for certain campaign settings that WotC owns, and I largely just want to see them handled with care and respect in any future products (and I'd sell organs to contribute on any 5e Planescape). Personally I'd completely divorce the 4e cosmology (and everything that was changed to adapt to fit therein) from both the core 5e game and every single campaign setting with the exception of the Nentir Vale if it saw print as a setting in 5e. Any campaign settings would use the cosmology that they originally used. As far as default cosmologies go, I wouldn't attempt to please everyone with a compromise that could end up pleasing no one while also compromising campaign setting continuity (more than has already happened). But we'll see what 5e actually does, and I'll either like it or ritually sacrifice it the Oinoloth - one or the other. ;) [/QUOTE]
