I thought somebody might fork this. Let's see where it goes...

As little as possible. I just don't like losing things, or letting people borrow stuff so I avoid the risk.

Indeed, and this can apply to most anything. I've look at fantasy art from book covers, or even the back cover book blurb, and come up with ideas that weren't similar to what was found within. Heck, I only had a vague idea what Dark Sun was about, but as I was considering buying the initial...

Well, there's also the light brown print on pseudo-parchment paper. That might be a tad hard to read if you've advanced in years.

Besides the obvious conversion issues? Probably the herd of old school players beating a path to your door.

Wait...does that mean Elminster is a necrophiliac?

I keep getting Elminster's Sloppy Seconds. Does that count? :p

Perhaps I can explain. Alignment has for many many years (ok, decades), been considered a straitjacket or yoke on Players (and sometimes DMs) that has done anything but foster role-playing. Instead, it was an arbitrary system that served more as a punishment tool than a reward. At least...

Yes, it certainly can fall in line with the alignment. If this player was playing a Paladin of some God of noble virtue, who never surprised an opponent, then it might be a problem, but given the circumstances, I don't see that it'd necessarily be required to give them further warning. The...

Well, the most obvious solution is to tell her to make her own soup, and not put stuff in yours. She can still take your recipes, and borrow from your spice cabinet, but it is your soup after all. Assuming that metaphor makes sense, moving on to other options, you can also give her areas to...

Well, the more content you have, the more possibility you have of conflict seeping in. Especially since content will come about as there are more fans, which increases the chance you'll run into somebody. But there's people out there who will quibble if you do things wrong based on their...

Well, you can doubt my experiences, but I don't know how I can convince you of their reality. I'm not about to invite you into my life. Maybe you could write some fan-fiction in another setting, or get involved in some historical re-enactment, or try gaming in some non-FR settings, but me, I...

Define your term, then I can possibly answer it in some meaningful way. Otherwise I'll just say I've read some of the novels, but haven't bought a FR product since 1st edition, though I've read some of the books published since, and played games set in it. And yes, I have run into situations...

Word of advice...plastic seating will be important if this is your goal.

I don't think this image problem is a real issue. It may be the biggest issue for you, but for me? It doesn't even track. Not even with the image you have of it. If anything, the real issue I see is a conflict between people's expectations which is so widespread that I would suggest...

It may to you, but, my experience is that there is nothing unique about this particular criticism. And as for attitudes go, well, I find it offensive whenever I see people making an assumption based on the terms you have, whether it be a RPG subject, a computer one, or almost anything else you...

Well, you're saying exactly what I thought you might say, which is that you're relying on assuming a meaning to what people don't say, which I've found to often be quite misleading, especially when you've got something as popular as the Forgotten Realms. It actually tends to be quite deceptive...

How do you know what most people don't run into?

Guess you won't be doing any historical games then. But honestly, I think either your standards are too high, or you haven't met the players I have. In my experience, players can be quite nit-picky, and unless your game has no connection to reality, something can always trip you up. Of...

Personally, I just don't like having that stuff. Gond's gift was refused!
