[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5328492, member: 78116"] Hyperbole, it's what's for breakfast! I entirely disagree with you. I am running 3 different settings right now: PoLand, Eberron and Dark Sun. I can't even remember the last time I did that and it's because I don't need to keep up with large amounts of information now. I know everything there is about Eberron/Dark Sun that is relevant right now and I don't need to really "follow" a setting via multiple products (and PoLand is my own playground so I do whatever the hell I want to it). So what I've found is that I am willing to run multiple settings much easier, because there is simply less to keep track of to be up to date. Before, I would pick a setting I liked and buy most of the books. Because of that investment, I would never try another setting or play multiple ones. So overall it means I have more diversity and I don't need to keep up with anything in particular to maintain it. The strategy really works for me and means there is always a low "investment" for my players to enter a new setting. I can say "We're playing Dark Sun" and "You get this book" and that's it. My players are happier about changing settings and running new things, plus I am more willing to do so. Making it a very good decision. Especially if the books are good to begin with (FR arguably isn't, but Eberron and Dark Sun are fantastic). [/QUOTE]
