[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9577192, member: 22779"] It's kinda funny when you think about it. For the past ten years, fans have been literally screaming for more lore in the game. It's a perennial topic. Heck, it's a drum that's been beaten by people in this thread endlessly, over and over again for years. Every month we'd see threads on "Why isn't WotC doing more lore for the game?" or various variations on that theme. It's been endless. Y'know what I've never, ever seen on En World? A thread talking about how people want updated monster creation rules. I'm sure they exist. It's a big site, so, it's probably popped up here and there. But, let's play a little game. For every thread asking for new monster creation rules posted in the last ten years, I'll post three asking for more lore and we'll see who runs out first. Frankly, AFAIC, unless people read threads like this one, they probably don't even know that there are monster creation rules in the DMG, never mind missing them when they're gone. Fans of D&D are weird. Scream for something endlessly. Endlessly repeat the mantra that WOtC MUST MAKE MORE LORE. Get that lore. Get it in spades. Between the Greyhawk section and the Planes section in the DMG, we're talking a significant chunk of page count. Fans were heard. You wanted more lore. You got more lore. Take the win. [/QUOTE]
