An article with a "warm & fuzzy" feel but not much necessarily new or insightful.

IMO the schism between pro & con 4E FR seems almost as wide as what exists between the pro & con 4E fans. WotC appears to have made the changes to Faerun, with the new system and attracting new players in mind, which definitely is not a bad thing at all. But for many FR fans the new edition definitely did throw out the baby with the bath-water.

I haven't read the book yet, but as a setting-a-holioc, the fact that I feel no drive to GM it is an important indicator for me. Hopefully I'll get a chance to read it this weekend.
