[QUOTE="Jeremy E Grenemyer, post: 6498570, member: 12388"] I wish more Realms fans that take to the internet to complain would keep what you say about edition changes in mind. Depending on which oily lens of D&D rules you look through, the Realms is going to look different. No getting around that. It doesn't follow, however, that the setting hasn't maintained continuity. It has, however imperfectly, and work is being done even as we speak to shore up the wreck that 4E left it in. I'll tell you something too: it's just not necessary to "absorb tens of thousands of pages of lore" to grasp the Realms. Just pick up a campaign guide and start from there. What matters most is DM and player expectations. If you're a fan of the Realms and a reasonable person, it's not going to be an issue if your DM doesn't know the Realms as well as you do; you're there to play the game, run your character and have fun. I think most people appreciate the mere fact that they're able to get into a game at all. The message that WotC needs to get out to the masses with 5E is this: use what you like, discard the rest and have fun. [/QUOTE]
