But we’re gonna have long cycles, and so when we go all in on Greyhawk or Dragonlance or Spelljammers, that’s going to be awhile. We’ll support that stuff, we’ll give players the tools to do things that they want to do, but the main focus will be on the Forgotten Realms for a long time."I wish they would come right out and tell us what in the world their plan is!! I'm sorry, but not everything has to revolve around the Forgotten Realms. Everyone is like .... well it's the most fleshed-out campaign, and more importantly, the one that makes them the most money. TRUE. You know why? Because since the grey box was first released in 1987 .... it's the only campaign that had any real support. They changed everything else constantly. After Gygax was booted out of TSR, D&D has tried to distance itself from him ever since, (until those last 3-4 years of his life.) They have said time and time again in the core books for this edition that the default setting for D&D is THE D&D Multi-verse. But thanks to video games, every story takes place in the Realms. Fine .... whatever, at least come out with an update to The Realms. This is BS that we have to buy your story books to get updates to The Realms. I know most of you are going to be like .... update it yourself then!!NO!!!!!If that is the setting they are going to be "staying in" for "a long time" ..... they need to update the whole thing so we have a better understanding of what is going on in the Realms. Myself, like many others, didn't play 4th Edition, so I, (again .... like many others,) do not know what has changed in the Realms since 3rd. I shouldn't have to look up fan sites to find out what is going on. Like many others have stated ..... I feel psionics need to be updated for this new edition as well.It's very frustrating as a fan of the D&D multi-verse to know that we are not going to get the complete support we crave because the setting we love has a name other than The Forgotten Realms. Sure we are going to get support .... some day .... maybe, but we won't get big, huge, beautiful maps, detailed descriptions of The Free City of Greyhawk, or Palanthas, or know how to operate a Spelljamming vessal, or a much needed update to The Lady of Pain. They have said time and again that PotA was NOT part 3 of The Temple of Elemental Evil. Yet in the introduction to that book by Mike Mearls, he clearly states that PotA is the successor to The Temple of Elemental Evil. I wonder what is next? Moving Castle Ravenloft to Amn (completely taking it out of Barovia?) Why is it so wrong then to let 3PP who love these settings, (and probably know more about them than WoTC/Hasbro .... just see Sovereign Press' 3.5 Dragonlance books. Thank-you for those Margaret Weis,) update these settings?And the thing that rips my heart out the most is ..... I actually love 5th Edition. Unfortunately, right now I'm only a player, and like one other person said here, I too will not be DM'ing in this new edition anytime soon. I'll save that for Pathfinder.</blockquote>
