Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 6683817" data-attributes="member: 67338">I don't have to research specific characters to know that running a game in a world full of character that out shine the PCs is a bad thing (on multi levels). I have players (well 1 right now until the new baby is a bit older on player 2) who read all the realms things... yes all of it and keeps up with word of greenwood on candle keep. I don't want to run in any setting with 300+ book learning curve. the whole thing is crazy over powered. MY complaint isn't "Hey you know that one character, he/she is a problem..." my complaint is that as bad as elminster is(and I could write a thesis on why he is) you could work around him, but you have seven sisters and blackstaff and that king guy who's name I don't even remember, and the guy under under mountain and the god who pretends he not and the drwo merc guy and a bunch of people I don't know... all of them are things I can't work around when my players talk about them because I don't know them.what part of there is too much for a person running a campaing to learn don't you get? the setting runs fine if you have players with less knowledge then you or are willing to overlook things... but running with just a book or two AND having real huge realms fans is annoying.I run 90% my own settings and 10% campaign settings, but of that 10% the realms will no longer be... stop pretending this is some fake troll thing I DO NOT LIKE THE REALMS!!!</blockquote>
