[QUOTE="oreofox, post: 7772669, member: 6776240"] Unless they do. So far, WotC has been good about including "In Other Worlds" in their adventures, for the very real possibility someone isn't running FR but wants to run the adventure. PotA's other worlds describes placing the adventure in and around Hommlet, the site of the previous 2 Elemental Evil adventures (t1-4 as well as 3e's Return to). None yet have "invalidated" similar adventures of older editions. Thinking this one will "invalidate" the old Saltmarsh adventures is possibly foolish, but you never know. I understand Sword of Spirit's feelings, though. His friend's negativity towards the effective "removal" of the Star Wars EU, is similar to how I felt about Marvel's "Ultimate" line of comics, as well as DC's "New 52". When I first heard about PotA, them setting it within FR had me thinking they were stupid because the more fitting setting (in my mind) would have been Greyhawk due to the already established lore of Elemental Evil around Hommlet. It made me happy that they included the part about setting it within Greyhawk in Hommlet, but making everything Forgotten Realms with a sidebar saying how to include it in other worlds, to me is dumb. Having Elemental Evil within Faerun just feels hamfisted "square peg in round hole". WotC has access to many settings. Certain adventures make more sense in certain settings. Write it for the setting it makes sense for, and then include the sidebar of fitting it into other worlds. [/QUOTE]
