Never liked the Realms, and now maybe I will, but I seriously doubt I will ever play in them anyway. I might find more stuff worth stealing, though, maybe. We'll see. But, either way, I don't really care one way or the other.
I do not like the new changes. The realms changed too much so I will keep the current timeline.
I actually want a setting that has been created to showcase 4E, not a setting that has had so much cosmetic surgery done to it that Elminster now looks like Joan Rivers.
Some of the changes might be good, but the amount of history I have with the current FR, will make comparisons between the 2 versions a constant. I always respected the opinions of those players who just plain didn't like the "classic" FR. The choice of any setting for your campaign is a very personal and important decision. For me the changes are just too dramatic and arbitrary with too little fluff that gives it any real sense of being the Forgotten Realms I've always known.
For those of you who like it, great! Glad you're happy.
Time to start a "Classic Forgotten Realms" site for the rest of us.

Not a fan of the Realms. Don't hate it either - just too much stuff.
If I was to ever to play in the Realms 4e would be the time. Much better place to start without the years of canon getting i the way.
I bought the FRCS for 3.0 and liked it. But with too much info out there it would be hard to run a serious campaign. Like others more and creating my own even better (though stealing great ideas, art and other aspects from a detailed setting like Faerun is still on the radar
).

I did not even use most of the changes from 3E to the Realms (Azoun lives, no shade, no elven/dwarven renaissance), so there's not much of a chance I'll drop my customised FR campaign (all NPCs, all plots) for this - especially since it is set in Unther.
Instead, I will probably pick what I consider fun and fitting from the 4E FR, plot-wise, and see how best to use it in my campaign.
The Realms were much more fun to DM in though once I stopped reading the novels, a policy I may keep up.

3e screwed up the Realms, actually. It COMPLETELY RUINED all the wonderful plot points in the last 2e FR product, that gem Cloak and Dagger.
In short, 4e certainly can't screw it up any worse. In fact, there's a good chance the 4e FR could very well be better.

As more and more information about the 4e changes appears, I'm becoming more optimistic about the whole thing. That said, we'll probably stick to our current campaign, possibly trying to adapt to the new rules while sticking with the old timeline.

Do you want to elaborate on that statement because I don't have Cloak and Dagger 2e product?Darth Cyric said:
