[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 2566307, member: 3477"] But many people are :). Many people don't like it to have their settings diluted in concept by a constant flood of supplements. The original Forgotten Realms were a very nice setting. If you look at today's polls, it's still the North or the Silver Marches that get the most votes, except that you will hear remarks that those regions got unnecessarily cluttered with detail. Dark Sun also suffered from that fate. The original boxed set is a wonderful setting. Just look at that evocative map sheet with details from the city of Tyr. Later on, metaplot and clutter struck, and it wasn't such a strong idea anymore. If you just have one book and, perhaps, a single adventure, that's most of the time enough support for a setting. Long going series of supplements should be confined to the generic stuff, like Greyhawk and Eberron. [/QUOTE]
