How does that invalidate wanting a new wotc setting?Absolutely no one is unaware of what makes a thing official. I promise. Okay...i also like stuff by some of them but it doesnt change this topic in any way.Okay who in this discussion has been doing that? Maybe i missed it because i have someone ignored.But it objectively isn't official. Quality is a separate question. So you really do not see the appeal of having a setting crafted by the exact team that is currently building the game at thw time that the setting gets written? You dont see the value of that concurrence? Really? Because it isnt just a trademark, it is about the difference that exists between what a specific designer will do on their own vs with a specific team vs with a different specific team, and the different ways people design when they do or do not have to worry about the legacy of the game and being good stewards of it and all that. 13th Age is very cool. The same team woukd have made a different game under wotc, because the needs of the game would be different, the enviroment, the pressures and incentives, all different. Not better or worse, but certainly different. Just like we want Kobold Press and Ghostfire Games to both be making their setting stuff, we also want wotc to make a new setting thst is completely steeped in the current rules with no need to "stand out from official dnd" and with a need to very much be a 2026 5e dnd by wotc setting.</blockquote>
