Have a look at the forums today: plenty of post-Spellgplague talk.Feel free to get cracking on a several years worth study of posts if you disagree. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />***********I don’t get why people are so dead set on making things into an either/or here. All the work on the Realms from the point WotC realized they screwed up onward has been to flesh out the post-Plague era and weave the pre and post eras together. Regardless of the level of support WotC publishes, what we’re going to see at the start of the 5E Realms is more of this kind of work. If it succeeds, then there’s no point to looking at the current published Realms as a place with little support, because you have everything from word #1 published in a 1979 issue of The Dragon until now to use in your game.</blockquote>
