New idea Dragonborn are the fantasy Krogan. A whole race of magically inclined super strong warriors in mercenary companies. Instead of the Genophage, Dragonborn just die of old-fashioned way and their populations never grow

That's almost what an iPhone. What I am saying is that the 2020 Forgotten Realms does not serve near equal role playing ability and gaming experience for the 2024 version of D&D 5th edition.. Everyone is focused on what kind of character I'm allowed to make my character as. What I am...

That would be at least something. More useful that 20% of the settings that got official books or articles.

You came up with the idea. WOTC didn't do it. The gripe is that WOTC put it in the core book, plastered them all over their supplements as art, but didn't come up with a similar idea.

The point is the Dragonborn are newcomers to the setting. The point is the WOTC should make at least ONE setting where the Dargonborn are native and important to the setting.

"Have Johnson figure it out." (33% chance Johnson is lazy or a gremlin and the deadline comes before things can be fixed.)

They half butted many of the conversions of pre5e settings to 5e. Hence the many controversies, failed experiments, and "missing" content.. If they were forced to start from scratch they would have to question everything then included and how. Created better setting due to being forced.

I think updating or converting an old setting well would cost the same as creating a new one. If you halfway do it, it's a lot cheaper. That's the issue right there.

Something between Parallel and Shattered World A few connected worlds which have major differences from each other. Multiple connected material planes.

(slaps forehead). I'm not saying you have to design every setting a certain way. What I am saying is if you are the IP holder of a game and you make another version of that game making significant changes to the mechanics and options of their game you should make at least one setting for that...

The nations don't need to be created. The point is when the setting is written, the world builder ponders how the edition aspects fit in the world. Not after the setting is created, is the writer trying to morph the setting to match the edition.

I don't think you believe there is a difference between "converted to with in base x edition" and "built for base x edition".

My basic sample simple setting for 5e The Empire (humans, orcs, halflings, and tieflings) The Mountain Kingdom (dwarves) The Hill Kingdom (dwarves and halflings) The Rebellion (humans, orcs, and aasimar) The Dragon Republics (dragonborn, lizardfolk, and kobolds) The Runic Theocracy (goliaths...

None of the places have to suffer. A nation could have multiple species in them. In my cousin's setting the Rebellion were mostly Orcs and Tieflings who shared mistreatment by the Empire..

And like I said in the very very beginning that the community is split between "Everything is Present and Normal" and "There is a deep story reason why you don't see X but see a lot of Y". But WOTC really only wants to take outside settings and sprinkle dragonborn and warlocks and magic...
