[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7406677, member: 22779"] Kinda damning with faint praise no? See, I get the point though. Yup they sell. And they sell very well. Which would be great if that didn't mean that people like me, who aren't interested, were catered to as well. But, I'm not. If I want to buy a module, I have to accept that I'm going to have to skip the first five or six pages because it's of virtually no value to me. I have to accept that any monster book I buy now will be largely useless as written because of endless world building that the book is filled with. Volo's Guide? Mordenkainen's? I wouldn't even consider buying them. SCAG? Yup, that's a hard pass thanks. Like I said, the world builders won this argument years ago. The market is totally dominated by the folks that eat this stuff up with a spoon. To the point where actually asking for something different is seen as an attack. Where any and all criticism of world building must be immediately defended and world building accepted as the baseline of RPG's. [/QUOTE]
