[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4450790, member: 11821"] On the other hand, if you just want a fresh start, the Campaign Guide is more than sufficient to give it to you. DMs can utilize or ignore the DDI materials as much as they want, since this new iteration is more or less starting from scratch. I know I plan on filling in the Spellplague-related blanks as I see fit. Then again, I vastly prefer barebones settings to those which are completely fleshed-out. (Monte Cook's Diamond Throne would have been about perfect if it had had a better map - if anything, 4e FR is a little more info than I need for my DMing style.) All I want in my setting books is a little basic background, dominant society notes, a few adversaries, and tons of adventure hooks. When I see part of the map that's not described, I don't think "Darn, I need to know what's there!" I think "Oh, nice! I know just what will fit in that spot..." -O [/QUOTE]
