[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8240626, member: 7023840"] In fairness to Forgotten Realms (a phrase you will almost never see me write), you have to remember that there is a whole generation of D&D fans that: 1. Liked the FR computer games (Baldur's Gate et al.). 2. Liked the FR novels (approximately 16,934 of them, of which 4 may not involve Drizzt; numbers are approximate). 3. Liked all the different settings that FR ate (such as Al Qadim, Maztica, Kara Tur et al.) that are not normally considered standard D&D flavor. 4. Like a lot of fluff and/or canon. I mean, say what you will about FR, it certainly has a lot of STUFF to learn about. Some people are really into that! The FR wiki, alone, can cause you to lose days or weeks, or even your sanity when you try to understand their rules for determining what is or isn't FR canon! Again, these are also reasons people dislike FR (so much canon, so much stuff), but it's not quite fair to overlook the fact that a lot of people really, really like it. And that, if GH had been anointed, the positions would be reversed (with FR being the plucky, underdeveloped underdog and Greyhawk the insufferable and overdeveloped setting). [/QUOTE]
