[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8057056, member: 6871653"] There's also one other thing: Keith Baker seems to ''get'' that player options sell very. ExE isnt just a lore book like the Border Kingdom or the other one I forget, its a deep dive into specific lore AND it adds a bunch of options for players also, much like SCAG. Should Greenwood desire to publish is own take on various parts of the realm, he should really pair with a good mechanics designer to create player content and GM rule variants to go with its publications. Because...well...just another layer of lore...for the Forgotten Realms which are already over-lore'd (its a word now!), is interesting but do not add that much, even if you go with less known corners of the world. For example, the Border Kingdom should've come with settlement building rules and archetypes like Trailblazer fighter or builder wizard , a Cormyr book could feature an ''Audience'' system ala AiME and maybe a new take on the PDK or and a Royal bloodline sorcerer. I think Ed is slowly retiring from the Realms, letting WotC and the fans create their own stuff, which is okay.
