I'm pretty on record as noting that most D&D players probably use astoundingly less crunch than they say they want. I like useful crunch. And I think a book going over the stomping-grounds of these adventures is pretty useful. So I've got no real problem with what it looks like the book was trying to do.The audience it seems to be designed to serve is first and foremost folks new to FR (perhaps through the 5e adventures). But unless you're a fan already, learning about all the Fairly Generic Events and Places in your Fairly Generic Fantasy Setting isn't necessarily a selling point.Though I could be selling it short on that - it's possible there's a large audience of D&D players out there who are not hardcore who can really get a lot of mileage out of a low-impact introduction to the Realms. ENWorld probably doesn't have a lot of that potential audience posting in it, but it's totally possible that they're there.</blockquote>
