That's one of the things I love about the Now Realms: The heroes aren't the only heroes out there. They won't be the first to climb to level 20. Or 30. Or 50. No matter how powerful they become, chances are that there's several someones that are more powerful than them. I know many hate that...

Indeed not. In fact, it seems they're going to knock them up a notch or two.

We walk in the dark places no others will enter..... We stand on the bridge and no-one may pass..... We live for the One, we die for the One.

Not a problem, since they decided to ignore the Realms fans so they can make FR hip with the big crowd or something.

Vampires turn into ash when they see Juck Norris.

If you ever need another player, I'm your man! Though I don't really hate the dwarves themselves - just the obnoxious type of player that usually played those dwarves I witnessed, or the writers who had to describe them as rude racists.

That's too high a price to pay for getting a game that is not centered on humans. :p Anyway, I thought more about a game world (forgot to add "world" there) or any fantasy world where humans aren't the bigwigs, never were, and never will be.

If I don't use the new stuff, why bother getting the books? Especially since it apparently has been said that campaign settings will have less rules information than before.

Wait: Drizzt is a problem because his race is too weak? Or are you saying drow are too powerful?

As far as I know, the errata will be free. The payable content, in addition to the virtual gaming table (which is only useful if you can't play D&D properly. i.e. all sitting around a nice real table), some tools to create characters and stuff (which can be useful if you're a DM and willing to...

If those snippets are "The (old) world ends. The planes fall apart. Half the deities die. Half the Realms are in ruin", then "bailing" over them is perfectly justified. They (are supposed to) know how powerful a first impression is. I'd think that they wouldn't give the wrong one if it can be...

They'll probably slaughter most sub-races in the Realms. It seems, for example, that all the Duergar deities are dead now, so I guess they will all commit ritual suicide over that, driven crazy by the spellplague (which affected their magical powers, so they all became large and invisible...

I really hope they're a core race - just so I can watch the haters cry!

Interested in checking out. They trade proven, loyal fans for people who might look at it, and, should they do, might stick with it. On the other side, It's quite likely I won't bother even checking it out. Even if it might be a good new world, it won't be the world that was my favourite. And...

Huh? I'd say Swiss Guidebook because of the Gnomes of Zürich. :p The Germany Guidebook will feature Bayern, Pfälzer, Ostfriesten, Hamburger, and, of course, Saarländer. Said Saarländer will necessitate a late release, because they need to reintroduce stats for divine beings before they can...

That worked out beautifully. Same character, different stats, and they made sense. It worked even better for Drizzt: He started as a pure fighter in Menzo, ran around in the Underdark surviving on his own, becomeing feral, and finally being "apprenticed" to a Ranger. In 2e, because non-humans...

Always hated that. Would love a game where humans are a minority.

Nah. The Spellplague will probably wipe out all gnomes, along with their deities. After all, they seem determined to make everything in the Realms conform to 4e changes, and that means that the races and classes that are cut from the PHB will be cut from the Realms.

Simple solution: Get Grand History of the Realms - the book that was supposed to get everyone up to date.

There is a difference between "nothing happens" and "the world is turned upside down and inside out". It's not black/white. Watch me. Changes are a strength. Ridiculous, bad changes are a weakness - of this setting and every other's Was not. It was a great move. You mean "non gold-dwarf...
