[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9117642, member: 22779"] Kinda hard to argue when the ratio of page count is about 10:1. Even today, the ratio is about 1:1 or there abouts. You might not like the supplements, that's fair. But, you cannot pretend that they don't exist. And, frankly, I find that the complaints about the lack of setting supplements are extremely overblown. Take SCAG for example. People kept telling me how there is little to no setting information in SCAG. Here is the Fantasy Grounds Map for SCAG: [ATTACH type="full"]294164[/ATTACH] Now, you see every one of those little pins? Every single one of those is a location within the Sword Coast and has about a 500 word write up detailing that location. How much more information do you actually need? There's a TON of setting material there. Every major location has an overview article. And that's just one setting guide. The Sword Coast does have MUCH more material. I mean, good grief, WotC just handed out a free Baldur's Gate Gazeteer, a 40 page book on a single city. Waterdeep has the same with the Waterdeep Enchiridion - 27 pages of pure flavor for Waterdeep. Never minding the mountain of setting material in Waterdeep Dragon Heist. I'm really having a tough time seeing how WotC isn't giving you lots of setting material. There's a setting book pretty much every year. Typically more than one. I'm sorry you don't like what they're offering. That's fair. But, it's right there. It's not like you're being ignored.
