It also wouldn't "harm" anyone if they left it in Greyhawk. It wouldn't "harm" anyone if it was set in the universe of Disney's The Little Mermaid. I'd expect a bit more out of my gamejunk. All the fuss is because I'd rather have an adventure that I want to play than one I think has a high chance of being super duper lame. I don't know how it'll actually be in execution (I won't know 'till it's out, I guess!), but crossovers always feel inauthentic. It's not like Star Trek would be improved by adding Jedis. FR doesn't need the Tomb of Horrors, and the Tomb of Horrors doesn't need FR. FR has it's own liches you could tell stories about. Why not take your killer mega-dungeon inspired by the Tomb of Horrors and stick it in FR history and FR lore and show how these things can add to your gaming experience? Why be the guy who shows up to the bachelor party with his girlfriend?Well, probably, the reason is because the marketing team knows that people who fondly remember the ToH from ye olden times will snap up this new version so screw FR lore, I want the Tomb of Horrors and I want you to put Elminster in it because nerds will buy that stuff! NOW GO!But that reason ain't good enough for me.Maybe they'll have a better reason later on! Hey, maybe your girlfriend really is cool with everything and is going to be a lot of fun at this bachelor party. But it's not a great start, and it's an uphill battle from here on.</blockquote>
