[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 8890375, member: 78752"] Hmm, perhaps I've misread you. Surely if this setting lore was associated with a specific setting or settings, you would accept that it is explicit rather than implied, right? You referred to "setting info" as "cool" in a previous post, so I've been assuming that you appreciate the existence of [I]explicit[/I] settings to some degree, as well as the "genericness" of D&D at large. If I misunderstood you, I apologize, but I did not think you would be "ignoring" this lore material if it were associated with an explicit D&D setting. I was using the word 'universal' to reflect that setting information is present in core D&D books, which you seemed to acknowledge in your previous post by stating you felt free to ignore it. I did not mean to state that the lore was the same in all explicit settings, and I own that miscommunication. My position remains that not only has the implied setting been clear and present in core D&D material for more than 45 years at least, it is critical to the success of the game, and would be to any successor, as well.
