[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 8999318, member: 20323"] So, uh, your assertion is wrong in this case. The 5e DMG mentions several of the older D&D settings on page 68 – name and a brief blurb – including: "On [B]Aebrynis[/B] (the heroic-fantasy world of the Birthright setting), scions born from divine bloodlines carve up the continent of Cerilia. Monarchs, prelates, guildmasters, and great wizards balance the demands of rulership against the threat of horrible abominations born from the blood of an evil god." "On [B]Mystara[/B] (a heroic-fantasy world born out of the earliest editions of the D&D game), diverse cultures, savage monsters, and warring empires collide. The world is further shaped by the meddling of the Immortals—former adventurers raised to nearly divine status." Mystara is actually mentioned right in the opening chapter of the 5e DMG (page 9) alongside Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, and Greyhawk as examples of campaign settings that don't stray far from default assumptions of the D&D worlds (as well as Dark Sun, Eberron, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, and Planescape as examples going further afield). This mirrors the approach in the 5e PHB which briefly mentions other worlds – including both Birthright and Mystara. [/QUOTE]
