[QUOTE="SilverfireSage, post: 7670034, member: 6778313"] Holy crap there's a lot of negativity on this thread. Seriously, Drizzt must have done some horrible things to your mothers other than be in some mediocre books to warrant this kind of vitriol. Here's a few points that you guys should remember: 1. the D&D team has been more than willing to help people convert their games into various settings. Remember the 20 pages of conversion guides at the back of PotA? Why do you think that's suddenly going away? They know that a lot of people want to put their games in their own campaigns or in ones set in the other worlds, so I seriously doubt they're going to get rid of all of that now. 2. Forgotten Realms is the only setting that anyone outside of our hobby has any knowledge of. Anyone can go into a bookstore and see the massive shelf full of FR books, or find the dozens of video games set in it, or look at the numerous board games set in it. Despite the massive (somewhat) success of 5E, they're still on the ropes. Using their most popular setting is their only option. I hate to tell people to stop griping about it, but they have said numerous times that FR is going to be their setting of choice for the foreseeable future, and there's always at least five or six people on these threads to complain about it. So seriously, stop griping about it. 3. Is everyone forgetting that we play a modular RPG game that is completely up to the DM running it? If you don't like Drizzt, get rid of Drizzt! Nobody is putting a gun to your head and saying "you have to play this NPC that you hate." Replace him, put in a different character, excise him altogether. They didn't have any characters like that in the first or second adventure paths, so it baffles me that you guys would think they suddenly became terrible at writing and will force Drizzt-sue onto us. And for all those complaining that it's Drizzt again, our hobby would likely be 100x worse off if it wasn't for him and the success of the novels that he's in. They're the only reason a lot of people I know even know about D&D. In short, I'm looking forward to this AP. I somewhat enjoyed ToD, I'm greatly enjoying PotA, I've really liked their core system and the UA's that they've put online. They've built up a lot of good will with me, and I'm happy to return the favor and give them some benefit of the doubt in their next storyline. [/QUOTE]
