[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4475784, member: 10177"] They work for me, but I have never used them as written. Like Iuz never took over nearly as much of Oerth as he did according to TSR. I can only guess TSR forgot how kick butt just their NPC's in the setting are/were, let alone the additional PC's and NPC's I had in the setting at the time. So Iuz advanced, but got stopped much sooner in my camapign. Traveller. People had problems with what they did to the setting in Mega Traveller, let alone the New Era. Again, I used the idea but adapted it to where my camapigns were going. L5R is a meta plot controlled by the CCG. Again, I use what I like and throw away what I don't. The Faerun Avatar thing. I largely ignored the gods dying, and mortals ascension thing. I did have Cyric appear and weakened Bane because of it, but I kept Myrkul, Bhaal, etc... around. Mystra die? Yeah, right. Like that could even happen. The Archmage of all time and space killable? What nonsense. So I didn't have the weave crap happen as written, but I did have Mystra do something that created some magic dead areas and wild magic areas, but not nearly to the extent the novels had it happen. Ao? Who the heck is that? So, no, they didn't/don't work for me as written, but by taking some ideas from them and adapting them into things that did work for me I made them successful for me.
