[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 3925086, member: 16077"] I just get the sense that WotC is having a Yoda Crisis: "Do or do not; there is no try." Either they should reboot the Realms completely from scratch or don't mess with it at all - unfortunately they don't seem to be doing either. It isn't as if they, for example, couldn't keep the Weave and schools of magic as an alternative magic system that is part of the Realms. There is precedent - Magic of Incarnum and Tome of Magic presented alternative magic systems for 3.x, for example. I also really don't like the intent to use a "holistic" approach to the Realms when they never accomplished it in 3.x (or even prior editions) - are they planning on doing this in the 4e FRCS and if so, how the heck are they ever going to be able to do it justice within the scope of a 288 page book? [i]How[/i] holistic? Are they planning on including information for Anchorome, The Utter East, and Osse, for example? This is one area where they should take a cue from Eberron - a book dealing with each continent. [/QUOTE]
