[QUOTE="The Levitator, post: 3396861, member: 40099"] We've been playing FR since we converted to 3.5 around 4 years ago. We haven't gotten sick of FR yet, but that might be because my version of FR is at best a 2nd cousin twice removed to FR "out of the box". I use the races, the geography, most of the creatures, and some of the history, and that's about it. Our version of FR is actually low magic availability. We play a highly modified version of 3.5 ( I have a Gurps player and a Rolemaster player in my group so we are trying to make everyone happy). We don't rely on magic as much as a standard FR campaign, but I give ability points every 3 levels, feats every other level from 1st, and while we have low magic availability, it's still a fairly high magic campaign in regards to power. I don't really have much "mundane" magic. In fact the 1st magical weapon a PC will get their hands on will be at least +2 or +1 with an ability. Is it balanced? We don't really care. We aren't a munchkin group, so we have a lot more options with our playing. If we don't like a particular aspect of FR, we change it to suit our collective tastes. I think any campaign setting can be played by any group as long as the group collectively makes the changes necessary to suit the groups' tastes and gaming style. It would take a LOT for our group to be able to modify a setting like Eberron enough to make it fun for us, but I'm sure if we wanted to switch worlds, we could do it. :) We talked about a homebrew world, and I would love to do it. I just don't have the time. So, I use FR and make a few changes to suit us and it plays much more like a homebrew than it does a pure FR setting. [/QUOTE]
