Hopefully this is a harbringer of good diverse writing material going forward.That said, that means if there is an "Asian-Inspired Book" it's probably not going to be "Oriental Adventures" (definitely not that name)! I think if they pick up an older WotC setting like Kara-Tur or Kamigawa, there are going to be some big retcons and rewrites. Otherwise, they will make something entirely different and new (and that may just be the better way forward).</blockquote>
