[QUOTE="Primal, post: 4861257, member: 30678"] Well, in terms of quality and scope of lore, I personally don't think FRCG can ever compare to the Grey Boxed Set. YMMV, of course. Plus a lot of the changes just don't make sense to me (except for the obvious "we need to take it apart" reason). And Loudwater... well, if one is into hammering the players on the head with (unrealistic and badly-written) plot hooks, NPCs and encounters, you might get something out of it. I would at least tear out the town map with its 20 or so residential (i.e. non-keyd) locations (which are supposed to house *thousands* of people) and replace it with my own. The world map looks... visually bleak and unappealing to me -- plus it's very rushed. I mean, the lack of details, clear stroke lines around the roads, "rough" and angular edges in bodies of water (take a look at Wyverwater, for example), forests look like they're clone stamped from Google Earth maps (which they probably are) and so on. This book would not have a lot of value for me, but that's just my personal opinion. [/QUOTE]
