[QUOTE="Morik, post: 7649126, member: 4235"] For someone who "understands" my frustration you do slap me a lot in your post above. Besides.. I AM one of the Realms fans who dislike the spellplaque nonsens. But... it is official and the upcomming novels and supplements (and all the other stuff) will have to deal with it. And I do like to be updated... I didn't realise that this is a shame right now, sorry for that (I thought after years of Windows Updates every two days human society are finally got used to it). So... I am not saying that the stuff within the Greenwood Realms Book is not good... it is as far as I am concerned, BUT all I said was, that Greenwood would'nt have hurt anyone if he just had included some chapters with 'past-spellplaque'-sections... after the detailed and very rich information of his belowed and 'own-weekly-campaign' world, presented within in his new book of the Realms. What with the DMs and their campaigns who simply can't go back to the times before spellplaque? For them the Greenwoods new Realms Book is plain useless. And... well... I am complaining here on very slippery ground for I didn't implement the spellplaque events yet... in my campaign... but my new module will... and my group is just in the middle of it. They will eventually enter the "Tower of Twilight" and get time-travelled into another future time of the realms (without knowing) for I want to skip the whole aftermath-thing coming right behind the spellplaque... and the group will have to face a time-skip about 100 years (roughly the time in which the actual R.A. Salvatore books are happening). So I am the type that always like to play the official actual thing. But... as it is... maybe I will do some Realms Stuff besides my actual campaign with no spellplaque... and therefore I will buy Ed Greenwoods new thing... I always do... ;) Before the spellplaque events I would loved to get my hands of this book... but for now its just an outdated thing for me. I mean.. HALLO? Even the Time of Troubles didn't happend... its plain strange for me that I buy a book from a DM which turns his weekly campaign world into a official book of the realms... when all the other official material is 1.000 years ahead of it (and has nothing do do with it anymore).
