[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8352341, member: 7023887"] I'm 90% sure that no one actually likes the Forgotten Realms, but that it just keeps getting published because everyone's familiar with it. People just pretended to like it in order to have even more reasons to be mad at D&D 4e. I'm joking a bit here, but I seriously do think that the Forgotten Realms is way over-represented in D&D 5e books in comparison to other settings that WotC has said are equally popular, like Eberron, Dark Sun, and Ravenloft. Exandria is probably on the same level now (if not more popular than much of the other settings, as Critical Role is a huge money-maker and very popular), but WotC doesn't own the rights to the setting and thus would have to collaborate with Matt Mercer and the rest of the Critical Role team to make more Exandria books (which, although it would be well worth the profit if they did another Exandria setting book or an adventure in the world, it is significantly harder to do than most of the campaign settings they do have the rights to). I don't think FR is the most popular D&D setting, I just think that for the longest time it has been the most recognizable. Recognition =/= Popularity [/QUOTE]
