I have been a huge fan of the FR since the original gray box; although Ive read many of the novels, the fiction was not what drew me in, (though much of it is really good). I have loved the generic high fantasy elements, and that its a vast world that I can mold as my sandbox. I love the Red Wizards, the Zhentarim, the gods and its vast cultural scope, (Kara-Tur, Al-Qadim, Hordelands). That said, I know its not what everyone wants for a campaign, and while Ive considered creating my own world, I realize as a full-time professional with many family responsibilities that I must settle for the best pre-published setting around. So for the last 25 years I have breathed live into the FR in many campaigns Ive run, and now Im running 3.I know Greyhawk and Dragonlance and Eberron has its strong following, (personally I much prefer Planescape). I too hope that one day WotC will release products for other settings, but to be honest, Im in no hurry for these, I have a big library of setting products that Ive never even opened, (Dark Sun). For now I think WotC is being smart and keeping it to one official/default/fantasy setting, its good business, and they are dedicating word-count in all their published products in case you want to drop it into your Eberron setting.My FR is my world, not the world of DRizzt or Elminster or Farideh, I don't subscribe that the events of these novels informs or changes my FR, I take what I want and ignore the vast majority to make it my story.</blockquote>
