[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7081824, member: 6801845"] I would assume the goal is to have one book/boxed set that someone can pick up and run a campaign. With no prior experience or knowledge of the campaign world. It's something we don't have for the current edition. Creating a comprehensive campaign guide for The Forgotten Realms IMHO would be an incredible amount of work. Yes all it "needs" is updates to the current timeline, but how is that going to help people who aren't FR grognards? It's a lot easier to take something like Greyhawk and set up a new campaign world. Slap a new coat of paint on it, update an old map, list regions and major factions. Throw in a sub class or two. History for most regions could be covered in a paragraph or two. In addition, Greyhawk default is a lot "cleaner". No Tieflings, Dragonborn, Drow, and so on. Not to mention it doesn't have a bazillion factions everywhere. If you want to add Drow into your Greyhawk it's easier than trying to taking Drizz't out of FR. I'd love an updated Eberron campaign, but it's not generic D&D, it's showing how you can stretch the core rules into a different direction. [/QUOTE]
