[QUOTE="Queer Venger, post: 6681773, member: 6778121"] 1. Its the most popular setting of D&D, the most successful, and the most iconic/recognizable. Its the setting for the most successful video games in D&D, (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter, Pool of Radiance, Sword Coast Legends, etc., etc., etc.) the most successful fiction/novels franchise in any table-top rpg history, and since its early days in articles of Dragon Magazine, fans have clamored for this setting published, (1e and 2e). Wizards is smart in going with an established brand like the Forgotten Realms and the upcomming movie will also be set in the Forgotten Realms. 2. Dont hate, find a setting, (or create your own). Spending needless energy hating something goes against the spirit of D&D, there is so much productive time/energy you could spend in creating adventures, worlds, than in "hating" something. And no, Al-Qadim and Kara-Tur are very much part of the Realms, you can easily run your adventures there and never have mention of Driz'zt or Elminster. I dont even know why you are starting a thread like this one, it gains nothing but to seek sympathy about something you dislke/hate. Personally, I dont like the Dragonlance setting, (great as a novel series, but not to play in, too small for creativity, too linear) but Im not going to start a thread about hate-mongering. So here's some advice: find what you love, what inspires you, [B]and use it. Now go play. [/B];) [/QUOTE]
