Change only what absolutely needs to be changedAdvance the timeline rather than rolling it back 20 or 30 yearsMaybe don't shrink the lands down to one town, break apart the Core and erase all the past adventures and novelsDominic d'Honair is a creepy sex offender? Have him killed and replaced by his daughterFalkovnia leader is a Nazi and the land is boring? Just don't include itThe Three Hags don't interest you? Make all three interestingAnd don't define the dark powers. That's like saying what caused the MourningAdd don't subtractSure there's a lot more but I'm not "special enough" to get free books two weeks earlyIf I decide to bother with the book at allNot everyone has the same sense of taste.
