[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8504863, member: 7006"] If we're adding in 3rd party producers, then yes, absolutely! I think they are 100% the people who should be producing these "out-there" settings that Minigiant seems to be advocating for. They have less staff to need to pay and thus have lower margins for profit, and they also are less likely to get dumped on by the gaming populace by the quality of art and maps they have (because people tend to be more forgiving of smaller publishers like that). So if anyone wants a non-Realmsian campaign setting to use... going to look outside of WotC is the way to go. As far as the cosmology thing though? That's one of those things that WotC knows they need to include because of traditions, but that most of their players rarely use or care about (like high-level gaming.) So they have no need to radically revamp their cosmology, because those players (such as yourself) who think it's trash have your own ideas of what it should look like. And thus you're better off just making up your own exactly how you want it, rather than waiting for WotC to guess what it is you want and hopefully make their revamp work for you. [/QUOTE]
