Countdown to the Realms: Magic in the Forgotten Realms

[The Ubbergeek]

Yikes!

Why bother retaining the "setting" at all if it is going to be so completely and utterly rewritten?

To give fairness, they are not rewriten - no retconing but crazy catastrophes.

Just a weird future.

Aw man...Maztica and the Old Empires were two of my favorite spots in the setting.

Oh well, just means that if/when I start up a 4E FR campaign I just slap Maztica back into the setting. Cuz it's my campaign and I can do that.

You could set a campaign in Abeir, and show what's happened to the kingdoms that have been sent there from Toril.

Abeir and Toril were separated by the Sundering (selfish elves screwing up a planet just so they can make themselves a dinky little island that they can't even protect from the drow), which was bound into the Weave, and when the Weave went poof, the Sundering was undone.

I'm not sure if it struck anyone else this way, but the spellscar flavor reminds me of Incarnum.

Elminster is still alive. Thought someone should mention it.

When are people going to stop doing this crap? Who are you, Jello Frikking Biafra?

Please refrain from insulting such a creative and reasonable guy like Jello by comparing him to people who think saying "Wizards of the Cash" is clever. It's demeaning to the man's intelligence.

You're right, and I will edit the post to make it more appropriate.

Don't overdo coffee, man. It's bad for your heart.


Also, the end product may be actually good, who know? Maybe they know their stuff, and so it's the problem....
