[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4007667, member: 2020"] (solemnly) Hey there, all. In the rather bleak reality we are stuck with facing in the Real World, we just do our best. And isn't that all we can do? Gaming is no different. We do our best, and it's the best we can do. We cannot alter or affect what WOTC is doing with FR. We can choose to like or dislike it, but we cannot change it. We can only react to it. My way of reacting is simply to say that more Realmslore is available now, than has ever been available in history (compliments of countless TSR and WOTC products, the Candlekeep Forum, and other sources.) Some of this Realmslore, such as 4E Realmslore, conflicts with other Realmslore, such as 2E Realmslore. So, it's a simple matter of picking and choosing which Realmslore to use, in which campaign. Or what combination of conflicting Realmslore. Or how much homegrown Realmslore to add in. And so on. I'll pay the money, and buy the books. I'll support the Hobby. But I'll do it my way, not the way in which I am told (and isn't fantasy heavily about freedom to do what you want, not what you are told? ... thus, this is in the spirit of the Hobby.) I will not become angry over changes, or insult others. On the other hand, I won't subscribe to any rulesset I don't happen to like. I just do my own thing. Why get bothered about changes in FR? Have FR your way. Have FR using your favorite edition (there will soon be five full editions of D&D to choose from, plus C&C.) Make home changes as you please. Add Candlekeep stuff in as you please. It's futility to rail against WOTC. They have decided on the changes, and we cannot alter that. We can, however, agree to play FR based on those changes, or play based on older versions of FR. We make this choice. Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
