Also, frankly, no-one cares about the Moonshae Isles because Celtomania has been dead for, what, coming up on 30 years (after the late '80s, early '90s revival it got - which impacted games beyond D&D, note, WoD got a bit of it, for example), and they've never been presented well as an exciting place to adventure in.I mean, that could change, oddly enough, with the whole "Goblins = Fey" deal. An expanded FR which was willing to just ride roughshod over old canon (which I'd be fine with, despite the groaning weight of FR products on the shelf behind me) could make Fey Goblinkind major players in the Moonshaes and generally shake the place up.</blockquote>
