[QUOTE="ShockMeSane, post: 4175710, member: 64606"] There have been changes to fluff between every edition. What you are really saying is that your campaign will not benefit from 4E fluff changes. To say that all future 4E campaigns will be somehow negatively impacted by a new cosmology is both a ridiculous blanket statement and an obvious overreaction. I'm sorry you don't like the fluff changes, but just like every edition change from the 70's till now, you certainly don't have to adapt any features of fluff that you don't desire for your campaign. For the rest of us, it provides some new ideas about future campaigns. I certainly won't be switching over my 3.x campaign the day that 4E comes out, the conversion is just too much of a pain. Still, I am looking forward to running my next campaign under it, whenever that might start. In either case, I do not expect any of my players will start mysteriously complaining about the feywild when they have managed to get to 14th level without hearing of any such thing. Will my next campaign pick up the idea? No clue. Do I have to? No. Will WotC come to my house and bludgeon me with lawsuits? No. The fluff is all there to give you ideas for your campaign. You don't have to adapt a single word of it into your game if you desire. [/QUOTE]
