So, you're basically saying that because I am using a shared world, I, as DM, no longer have control over my campaign? That I cannot add material from outside sources to the setting that you do not personally approve of? Your response to a DM adding such material would be to walk about of the game?

Wow, and I got absolutely hammered for saying that DM's should not allow their personal pet peeves to limit player choice. Primal's flat out saying that if a DM deviates from FR canon in a way he does not approve of, he will not play, because, let's not forget, if I do replace a lord with something he does like, that's ok.

Since when do you, Primal, get to have final say over what's interesting or not in my campaign?

Well, I suppose voting with your feet certainly is your prerogative. My response would be probably fairly predictable. Be sure to close the door on your way out. Thanks.
