[QUOTE="WizO_Adele, post: 2565226"] Tiagan - If the vote results in a Forgotten Realms setting, the next step will be a series of smaller votes and polls regarding locations and other setting aspects. The goal is to put as much out there for discussion and vote as possible. Dontella - The Adepts are welcome in the new setting. Obviously, by their nature they are capable of travel. In addition, the setting will not be completely retired, but will be available for Limbo Theme nights, which I strongly urge everyone to volunteer in running. There are so many possibilities there. Jeajea - I am not trying to offend anyone with the change of setting, but it does need to be done and will be done. All your work is not for naught. The setting can live on it it's own way. However, I do not have the resources or desire to continue to maintain it. The setting itself has extremely low numbers. The setting rules are difficult to understand and follow, and few decide to do so even if they are educated in them. What we need is two settings, one that is relatively restrictive in the character and magic content and one that is not - allowing a large level of freedom. What we have now is two settings that are both restrictive in nature, though in separate ways. The decision to eliminate Juxta was ultimately mine, and I'll take all the heat for it gladly.
