But I do not think that they are worth breaking out as a separate category for the sake of this answer: they are somewhat different, and also contain some aspects of both rulebooks and modules, but at least by the sense of the term used in this answer (where everything is rulebook or module), “rulebook” covers them well enough and any deficiency in that definition is small compared to the distraction that introducing them as a third category would be in this answer. | |

Settings save the DM the trouble of having to create an entire homebrew world. Especially when a player decides to travel a setting like Forgotten Realms fills in a lot rpg.stackexchange.com/q/181776/60557 | |
