[QUOTE="Reprisal, post: 8346, member: 1161"] [COLOR=crimson]This is the reason I don't like Forgotten Realms simply because there are too many cooks in the kitchen. I took a look at the book, and to me, it seems to try to do too much. I mean, the FRCS is superbly presented and all, but as it has been said before, too much of it doesn't quite suspend my disbelief. This is why your post stuck out as I was reading the thread. Forgotten Realms [i]never[/i] seemed real to me at all, it never lived, it never breathed, it was just a collection of ideas that were neat, but didn't have that (finished-product) cohesion I sought... There are obviously other reasons why I don't favour Forgotten Realms, but at this point, they are all linked to subjective tastes... As I've stated on that other [url=http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/showthread.php?s=&postid=8078#post8078]Setting Thread[/url], I prefer Kingdoms of Kalamar. But I freely admit that I found what I liked fairly early in my search, at that time I had only read through the Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms campaign setting books...[/color] [/QUOTE]
