Despite the talk about Kara-Tur, I actually voted for Darksun - my favorite AD&D setting.

Agree or disagree, it doesn't change the fact that in FR adventuring is a profession.

I could deal with a more generic OA as well, although Kara-tur is in the FR and would see use in our FR games. I just don't like Rokugan. I mean, I really don't like Rokugan.

I would love to see Kara-Tur! :D Please no Rokugan. Please no Rokugan. Please no Rokugan. :(

Again with this attitude. I have yet to see that FR consumers will be leaving in droves. I have seen people complaining in the forums and promising to do just that. We have no idea how representative that sample is. Most of the hard core FR fans I know are happy with the changes and plan to get...

Dragons can prepare for adventurers in the same ways that non-dragons can. These ways have been listed numeruos times in this discussion already. It is your assertion that dragons require spellcasting in order to affective enemies. Most of us disagree with that assertion. Dragon spellcasting...

We've also been house ruling pretty extensively in preparation for 4e. We've added Second Wind, changed to the SWSE skill system (we've guessed as to what skills to include) and may be trying out the new critical system. We added action points, reserve feats and sneak attacks for undead and...

It provides an element of danger, a force that wrecked havoc across Faerun and still lies hidden, waiting to reemerge at any time. For me, the benefits are mainly conceptual. I like the concept. I think it makes the Realms more interesting. I already have about a dozen story ideas that use the...

To begin, I didn't mean to snipe in my post above, but I have to stop reading the FR forums. It is hard to have some posters (not you) implying that those of us who are excited about the upcoming changes in the FR aren't real fans. As for myself, I have purchased every version of the FR campaign...

Most folks I know want to be able to build warlock characters like Constantine, Spawn and Ghost Rider - not so they play evil. Any power that perormed such a deed does not meet the D&D definition of good, whatever folks in the real world think. There is nothing in the rules that makes...

Ain't this the truth? Some things I've learned in this thread: 1) If all dragons aren't archmages, they are inconsequential creatures at best 2) It is better for the rules to make every dragon a powerful spellcaster than to allow such an option for those GMs who want it (i.e. giving dragons...

My group of nine players will all be switching as soon as the new rules come out. We like everything we've heard so far. We're wrapping up 3e campaigns in the interim, as well as playing some SWSE. The new edition can't come fast enough for us. We were experiencing edition fatigue for at least...

Yeah. Yeah. We've heard it all before. Those of us who have been FR fans from the very first Dragon articles, but happen to like what is happening in the Realms can't possibly be real FR fans - because we disagree with certain other fans.

I have never been able to finish an Ed Greenwood novel. I've read a lot of terrible FR novels in my time, but Greenwood is one of the few authors whose prose style was so repellent to me that I couldn't bring myself to finish a single book.

IMC (upcoming 4e) aboleths are servants of something dwelling at the bottom of the Sea of Endymion called the Whisperer Beneath the Waves (Sussureth). The latter may even be an ancient aboleth itself. It is the cultists who follow the whisperer who are the threat for the heroic level PCs. At...

In many ways, it looks to me as if 4e FR will be getting back to its roots. Sword Coast, Cormyr and Cormanthyr will be fully fleshed out areas, while many of the other regions of the realms will be left to be developed later, or purposefully left blank for individual GMs to use in their own...

It's what I do in all my homebrew campaigns. I steal the game mechanics and apply it to either another race, or a subrace. In my upcoming 4e campaign, I will be taking the half-elf stuff I like and applying it to a race of atlanteans (called theran in this world). If half-orcs end up (whenever...

I can see no reason why warlocks couldn't have celestial pacts. The rules would seem to support it, and there is no conceptual reason why the class should be limited in this way. I'm sure that the posters in these forums asking for celestial pacts are not alone in their desires. For the other...

Or on the other hand, it has been denied that stat mods are (stat/2)-2, but this piece of "information" keeps popping up anyway.

That's what I always thought. Don't dragons specialize in driving dwarves out of their delvings?
