[QUOTE="Laeknir, post: 6494616, member: 33994"] Ah, but you see - the moment you actually do that, a Realmslore master will pout and grumble and complain they're not having fun. Because you're not doing it right, or because truthfully they wanted to go sit in on one of Lady Alustriel's naked hot tub sessions in Silverymoon and now they can't. If you're using Realms material, they want it to BE the published Realms - at least, as close to the published Realms as possible. They want to brush shoulders with Volo and Storm and go hang out with Laeral. They want you as DM to have studied Greenwood's architecture articles for when they go visit the South, and if you don't have the right kind of stonemasonry for your root cellar they'll be disappointed. If you don't have the right list of foods and wines for the inns they visit in Waterdeep, or god forbid you close the Moonstone Mask in Neverwinter and create your own inn, they'll be disappointed. If they can't go have sex with the goddess Selune who likes to hang out as a tavern wench, they'll be disappointed. They love all the varieties of Realms cheese, and they want it served on a platter. With Greenwood's names for each cheese. And a story of how the merchant imported each one, from where, and what type of rothe milk was used to make it. [/QUOTE]
