[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4851312, member: 67338"] Ok just so everyone is clear...I dislike the characters...not the writers..any of them.. Elminster has become (along with midnight/mystra and the chosen in general) a focal point for those of us that see a problem. Ironicly enough They are not the only problem... the fact that if you read all the novels and adventures and have an awsome memory (Like my roommate who can praticly quote exact words from the times of trouble) you know a metric but load about the realms...If you are asumeing even 1/10th of it is cannon in any given game you could easyly be in for the biggest rudeest awakneing...becuse Your DM might now less then 1% of all the realms lore... good canon, bad canon...I just want less canon. I want one shared world that allows me to start at A and make my own stuff up without stepping on other peoples "known canon"...oh wait that would be 4e realms and LFR... O lets ttake silverymoon. If I told you the Lord Mayor of silvery moon is a half elf named Rain, and he and his lover the shifter Fiona have ruled there for 6 months after displaceing X (X equaling who ever the canon says is there I realy don't know, but I know I herd it is a drizt setting city so I asume someone here does) what would you think? Also what if there was a PC drow who walked into town, and I decided that I don't want to deal with prejudice right now, and I think drizt has been here (as above I do belive that is how I herd this I may be wrong) so they don't think twice of it. what would you say to me as a DM you were playing under...and what would you think (Lets be honnest even if you hated it you might not say anything so the second part is to make sure we are all ont he sam epage...)
