Actually this thread seemed less grumpy than usual for you, so you must be mellowing out.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Yes, but you also used the term fanboy in a non-negative way, and you know how many people feel about that.  Magic-tech and steampunk aren't really negative in the same way, but many people dislike those genres; they don't want tech muddying the waters of their fantasy worlds.The market will decide that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm actually of the opinion that generic settings are less interesting and less valuable to me.  A setting with more focus will probably do what it does better than one without such direction.  The risk of publishing something like that is that if I don't like the direction they took, I won't run it, and probably won't buy it unless I just want to scavenge some parts of it.  That's why I admire the setting...they have taken some risks.  If they did FR take two, then I would also be asking why do we need another campaign setting?No doubt, IMO FR has a permanent place in D&D.  But I think there is room for other settings now and then, and to me it seems like the right time for something new.  HehGosh Bryon, you old geezer.  Glad I'm only 33.I'm doing better.  It's a long story, I'll e-mail you the details when  I can.</blockquote>
