[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9671342, member: 50987"] Sounds good to me. I hope they get around to updating and re-issuing all of the old TSR settings...they own the IP, they might as well make money with them. I know that some of them will need major rewriting in order to bring them up to modern sensibilities--[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Adventures'][I]Oriental Adventures[/I][/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qadim:_Arabian_Adventures'][I]Al-Qadim[/I][/URL], and [I]Dark Sun [/I]chief among them--but that's not impossible. Wizards of the Coast has the most resources. They have the largest fan base. They have the largest market volume. They have the best chance to pull it off. Of course they won't be able to please everyone, because different people have different sensitivities to change. And it is never easy to walk the line between the Old Guard who want to relive their memories of 30 years ago, and the New Generation who want to make new memories of their own. I don't envy them. My hope is that they prioritize the New Generation. The old books are still there, and I can still play them whenever I want...but they are dated, tone-deaf, and generally off-putting for my teenage nieces and nephews who see the world very differently from the way I did. I want them to make their own memories on Athas, and that isn't going to happen if they can't get past the first chapter. [/QUOTE]
