I wonder when DF will do non-European fantasy

[Kuroshima]

Well, on one hand I understand b-dog, in that his tastes differ from DF slightly, and so wants something that does slight changes to the line. I also want SJG to publish "the book that handles my campaign perfectly", but alas, SJG publishes what they think will be profitable enough to justify costs. On the other hand, Mailanka is exactly right in that it's either window dressing, or if it diverges enough from the core assumptions, it's a separate line.

We might someday have Dungeon Fantasy Monsters: Arabian Nights, or Fantastic Japan, or Age of Myth. I would buy those books, and if properly framed, I have no doubts that they would sell well enough. They would, as usual for DF, only pay lip service to the actual sources, taking the cool stuff and turning it up to eleven. They would discard anything that detracted from the goal of having foes to kill and take their stuff.

Setting books for DF would be something else. If they ever happen, they would probably not sell well enough, because for all that gamers want settings, they want the setting that exists in their heads, only to have someone else do the hard work or putting it to paper and deal with the inconsistencies and contradictions.

The sweet spot would be a fantasy setting that took DFs assumptions and indiosincracies (there are many kinds of elves, there are goblin-kin, there are all sort of weird humanoids running around, etc. and they more or less get together well enough for racially diverse groups to be a thing). The tech level is a weird mishmash of technologies that never existed together. The setting that comes from these assumptions will probably not look like anything from actual history, if you're consequent, but will be it's own thing.
