[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9150539, member: 52734"] For D&D, I prefer there to be no default assumed setting. It can’t be 100% free, but the more open framework, the more it supports making your own worlds. I ignored the likes of the extended lore in Volo’s and Mord’s because I had my own homebrew that didn’t use that lore - especially stuff like the Orc gods. I have a completely different pantheon and the orcs don’t even have gods in it (neither do the elves). I don’t too much mind books like Bigby’s or Fizbans because they aren’t core and I can ignore* those books if I choose. When defaults start getting shoved into the Core books, though, it ruffles my feather. * I remember a big blow-out in 2E over the lore on “trance” for elves in the just-released Complete Book of Elves. I wasn’t having it because one of the more important parts of an official adventure I was running depended on dream states, which elvin trance would have been extremely problematic. [/QUOTE]
