[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7963280, member: 6670153"] Acquisitions Inc is actually also set in the Forgotten Realms, their Verdan race is tied to events that occurred in FR, and it's canon, but I don't even know how to catagorize that book honestly. The relative sales of the SCAG weren't that bad and the book wasn't even primarily written by WotC at all, like the Tiamat AP it was subcontracted out. And the bean counters are bean counters because they know how to count beans, which means they take in other mathematical elements like the size of the market for 5e products then compared to now. Plus smart bean counters take into account context, bean counters for example would take something like the pandemic right now into account. And smart bean counters would not just take the one setting book into account, they would take into account all the FR 5e Books, and the successful history of sales for FR. If all the 5e FR books like the APs for example sold well, and bean counter will wonder if there is some other reason for the SCAG falling behind those in popularity, comparing to structure and timing to the other Setting Books would tell the tale. And bean counters also take into account liencing opportunities, which are extremely profitable for FR when well managed, but the requires updating content to get the most of it. Which is why I think a 5e FRCG book will have strong ties to Baldur's Gate 3 and maybe even Dark Alliance. [/QUOTE]
