Yeah, wasn't calling you a liar? Wasn't really doubting you or Troll Lord, just that the D&D Team is known (as @Parmandur pointed out) to backtrack on this stuff. Looking forward to your kickstarter, good luck.

Huh. This gives me flashbacks to when someone said they had permission to publish a Mystara book... and then they didn't.

If they're baddies, more like Romulans?

With that many Astral Elf enemies, seems to confirm that at least one faction of Astral Elves are antagonists.

Ah, I couldn't disagree more... a setting book should not be a history book. It is a vehicle for you to run games, a location for you to run stories. Does it really matter if the population of Sharn is 100,000 or 1 million? I'd say no... it's supposed to be a big city, and supposed to hit...

I will refer to comment #367 which does a better job of explaining why Wildemount IMO is not nearly as engaging a product as something more vague. This below to me is of far more usable quality, when ironically it uses a very similar format (though not content) as Wildemount.

https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/242796/did-william-marston-mandate-that-wonder-woman-be-continuously-published-for-dc-t I guess some companies were crazy enough to sign such contracts though... even if in this case, they did eventually buy WW outright.

Since I am stealing Mr. Rise Up Comus' great quote, I shall also plug their upcoming book, His Majesty The Worm;

Here's a far better explanation on my own opinion on setting design;

I'll tell you why... if I change those details, there is always the risk a Wildemount fan will tell me I'm "running the game" wrong. If I want to create my own NPC for the mayor of this small town, I have to use this specific halfling or else I'm playing "contrary to the author's intent." Bah...

I understand that people LOVE gazetteers, and it is very similar to a format used in previous editions that folks are fond for... but my (controversial) opinion is that I think it a complete waste of space. I can't stand how Wildemount goes out of it's way to detail every settlement...
