[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7393418, member: 22779"] But, 90% of the FR material has little or nothing to do with the Sword coast. And it certainly isn't needed to play nor is it particularly even referenced. 2e, 3e and 4e banged out source book after source book and none of those editions came anywhere near what 5e is doing. Now, I'm certainly not going to say that lack of world building is the primary, only or even a main reason. There are all sorts of reasons why 5e is doing so well. But I'd say it's a reason. I mean, the Tal'Dorei book is sitting about #4000 on Amazon. Respectable, sure. But, not even in the same league as what any of the last 3 WotC adventures are selling. Hoard of the Dragon Queen is selling better and it's 4 years old. Would you say Hoard is "flying off the shelves"? "Flying off the shelves" for a 3pp, is basically a Tuesday for WotC. [/QUOTE]
