Trivia / Kara-tur

• Creator Backlash: Ed Greenwood was vocally outspoken against the inclusion of Kara-tur into the Forgotten Realms, taking the stance that its greater focus on Historical Fantasy led to tonal dissonance compared to the greater setting. He had similar misgivings about Maztica.
  • Also for Wizards of the Coast as a whole. Kara-tur went mostly quiet after the 90s; the 3rd edition "Oriental Adventures" sourcebook even replaced it as the iconic "Asian D&D" setting with a licensed conversion of Rokugan instead. In 4th edition, its only appearance was the subject of a single issue of Dragon. Come 5th edition, and the setting has come under attack by fans who have labeled it racially insensitive and problematic, to the extent that Wizards of the Coast has placed a disclaimer warning of potentially offensive content on all Kara-tur products on the website "DM's Guild".
