[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9116274, member: 22779"] [USER=6747251]@Micah Sweet[/USER], I know I hit love on that post. It's just that it really did make me laugh out loud. And, totally not in a schadenfreude way. Look, I totally get it. Again, you have to remember that I've been on the other side of this equation for about twenty five years or so. All of 2e, 3e and a good chunk of 4e as well. I've a stack of Dragon Magazines and setting guides, an entire run of Scarred Lands, and various other bits and bobs. I've given it a try to be honest. I want to like this stuff. But, I just bounce off of it so hard. It's all so ... pointless. No, that's the wrong word. I get the point. It's meant for reading. It's meant for gamers who aren't actually playing but still want to engage in the hobby. But, that's never been me. I've run weekly games pretty much without a break, other than a few years at the tail end of 4e and the first few years in 5e, since the 80's. I NEED stuff that helps me at the table. I need material that's good to go. I don't need a bunch of setting material, no matter that it is interesting or not. It's just not helping me. So, yeah, I'm pretty happy right now. I get a new AP every year (usually two) and I can pick and choose what my next campaign is going to be. Hell, i'm pretty sure that the next one is going to be that new Phandelver module when it comes out. So, right now I'm doing Spelljammer, and the next one will be Phandelver. That's my gaming for the next two years or so. What am I supposed to do with an Eberron setting guide? Or even a Forgotten Realms one that isn't focused on the Sword Coast? Sure, it's interesting, and creative and fun to read. I get that. But, I also have a stack of novels waiting for me to read as well. Something had to give and I'm just really happy that the dice fell my way for a change. [/QUOTE]
