[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 4388301, member: 18"] Except I'd suggest from this article that all those elements are downplayed or mentioned in passing, rather than played up, which is kind of weak and "We made some concessions to human behaviour but as few as possible!". We have no reason to believe the would-be-king prince is a serious threat, for example. If this is the whole of the bit from the FRCS, I'm a little disappointed. [I]Still[/I], like you say, the cracks being there, I'm sure if I ran the FR, my players could get together with the Draevun freedom fighters and we could have a nice complicated intrigue-filled campaign with a lot of noble stabbing and double-crossing, just from a very different perspective (throw Cormyr into chaos so that it loses it's military grip on the stolen regions - which don't seem to be detailed, just mentioned, I guess they are elsewhere). There's very limited room for monster-filled dungeons, given how well-militarized and generally healthy Cormyr appears to be. I guess you could go with a kind of "the troops are abroad" deal though. Yeah, but why don't they mention that? It seems like a very "Cormyr-fan" (for I know they exist) way of writing things, just assuming you'd be keen to give more money to the Cormyrean government for the benefit of a shiny piece of paper (literally!).
