[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 5939130, member: 8461"] This pretty well sums it up for me. While I'm sympathetic to the "why did they destroy something with an established fanbase to try and appeal to the people who already hate it?" line of thought, I wonder if that's asking the wrong question. While the 4E FR Campaign Guide was written in part by Ed Greenwood and several other big names, I can't help but wonder if there was a pervasive attitude of "it's so hard trying to keep track of this setting" among the 4E FR designers - that blowing up the Realms was their idea to make it easier for themselves, rather than the fans. If that's the case, I think it summarizes why I dislike their approach. The Realms, like all campaign settings, should be run by people who actually enjoy them, rather than those who find them to be burdensome. Putting guys like Eric L. Boyd and Stephen E. Schend back at the helm would be a huge leap forward for the setting. [/QUOTE]
