That failure of the core books makes it needlessly difficult to run other wotc owned settings.And that's fine for the game known as adventures in middle earth to exclusively represent that, but the d&d phb needs to provide some reasonable level of support for the various wotc owned settings.  Hasbro or WotC inheriting ownership of middle earth from tolkein's estate would have been big news.Eberron just came off a century of continent spanning civil war with quite a bit drawn from ww1 & everyone with power knows that it's sliding towards the cliff's edge of a ww2 type tinderbox so is trying their best to position themselves for good results.  Darksun is living through a post apocalyptic span where everyone with power is brutally using what power they have to keep the real big bad that started the apocalypse causing genocides from getting free rather than recovering civilization. [USER=6906155]@Paul Farquhar[/USER] went into a lot of detail over more than one post about the importance of shire hobbits in the context of ww1's bleakness, which is fine to include those halflings as one of the halflings represented nonexclusively.  Some settings have halflings that went through the full course of a world war (or worse) & came out the other end thriving because they weren't shire hobbits to begin with.  Maybe instead of  being exclusive to "your personal sense of how a fantasy world should be" the phb should include support representing the various wotc owned settings.</blockquote>
