Please check back through the thread.I answered this in post 64, and Mokona answered it in post 67.If those are too long or too hard to find for you, I can distill it to: it's less risky, financially, to reboot the Realms and risk losing ALL the existing FR players to other settings, than its to design an entire new world and market it.Two points.First, in my humble opinion, which is quite as worthwhile or worthless as yours, most of those twenty years of "organic development" have been a downward spiral, and I've seen no "fluff" (i.e. the most important part of setting) that was materially better in any 3rd Edition FR product than late 1E/early 2E "fluff".So for me, whilst the FR has become "more detailed", it's quality has not increased as a result, but rather decreased. I don't deny that some FR products have been awesome. Others have been trash, or so mediocre as to be wastes of paper, though, and mediocrity has by the "byword" of FR products since about 1994-5.The authors do not need to create a "more detailed" world, which is all the late 2E-3E books really provided, they just need to create a more financially successful and popular one. I think that's pretty much doable, thank you very much. Esp. considering the reported poor sales of recent FR products. So much for the people who "love" 3E FR, eh? If there were enough of you buying the products, this wouldn't be happening, I'd suggest.Secondly, who are the authors of the 2008 FR book, whose work you've disliked so much? I've not seen that information yet.</blockquote>
