[QUOTE="Derulbaskul, post: 5161621, member: 1581"] I like the 4E version as well as all the earlier versions. I am currently using the 4E version, spellplague and all, and have sketched out another half-a-dozen or so campaign arcs that I expect I will run at some point in the future (and I've been running campaigns in FR since the grey box). I use a lot of my old material for background but I really wish there was a good world map available. I love what Sean McDonald (Moonsea North) and Mike Schley (Vaasa, Cormyr, Sarifal/Moonshae Isles) have done by way of regional maps for DDi but we're still stuck with a pail of rancid afterbirth for a world map. I do believe that the biggest reason for all the hate is the map. The map is an embarrassment and unworthy of a fan project let alone WotC. I am not indulging in hyperbole to say that it is possibly the worst world map published for a campaign world by an RPG publisher. (Edit) The other major problem with the new version of the Realms is that there is nowhere to really discuss them. I have hopes for the forums at [url]www.loremaster.org[/url] because other forums seem to attract too much noise as opposed to signal when the topic is FR4E. Even Candlekeep, which has always supported all editions of FR, attracts aggressive threadcrapping when FR4E is the topic. [/QUOTE]
