[QUOTE="Lol Roflmao, post: 863346, member: 11750"] Bluemoon if you want some really good advice from someone who's been there, listen well. Stick with what you know. Your players can only benefit from your experience and knowledge of the Realms. Moving on to another setting my seem nice, but when you actually put it into practice you may find that it may end up with some really bored players.I've been running a Realms campaign for years. I tried doing this myself just for something new, big mistake. Another friend of mine, an experienced DM ran Greyhawk for 10 years. He wanted to try something different and eventually went back because he didn't know it as well, and didn't have the same passion for it. His players suffered as well, until he switched back to Greyhawk. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that switching settings is a bad thing (well, yes I am) but you should really be prepared and do your homework first, make sure you really like it better and give it a try. One good thing did come out of it though when I went back to FR I found I had a whole new outlook and was refreshed with some new ideas. Ah, it was like coming home again. If you really feel that you have to do it, go for it but make sure you have a way out so that when you do come back to the Realms (and you will ;) ) you can do so in a seemless roleplaying kind of way.
