[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4859258, member: 67338"] right...becuse when I say less is better, you have to set up a strawman and think I mean not addtional info... actualy, it leaves penty of room, even in the areas detailed so that this problem wont crop up...infact it was one of the selling points... what is wrong with running a campign with just the main book??? you just suggected possible 16 mods, and 4 suplments... wow more books...yea that is always the answer...spend more time and money...why do you people all think the answer is to become what we hate...the canon 'experts' I mentioned 4 in one of my posts a few pages back...if you look around the front page you will find a thread called "Mary sue I don't understand" that has a huge argument over this... wow, but you remember more then they do...how great you caan out think canon lawyers by knowing but loads of it...so still no answer... as for: all he needs is to have read 1 novel, or acsessory more then you...and remember something from it... again with the idea it is just my group...again I did this, and they tried, but they couldn't hold back everything they knew, and it just didn't 'feel' like the realms...AND IT IS NOT AN UNHEARD OF PROBLEM... there is no part of the setting I know more about then my roommate...he has every fr book. and even HE stoped running the realms...becuse of these same basic things... OK, now I am feed up with this sh-- I took a city name someone else in the thread talked about...and talked about a general plot idea. then when the god like untouchable npc chosen was there, I took my roommates base book to see if this info was provided...I found about 1/4 a page on the city...and guess what was not mentioned in the MAIN BOOK DESCRIBEING THIS CITY...didn't see fit to say 'she is a CR 28 archmage chosen...you would think something so important would be mentioned...or atleast say see pg XXX. WOW another strawman... the basic eberon book describes what sharn is...yu would CHOOSE to disregard this... notice you didn;t quote me saying the exact same?? you know the main book... who are you talking about here??? noble families...local festivals, who ever said that was the problem??? lets recap here: elminster...symbol...blackstaff...alustrial...thay...cult of dragon...these are the problems so far...at least by this thread... I haven’t seen this “spike of canon lawyers” you talk about… maybe you should take a look through this thread, the mary sue thread (until elminster was banned), the ebberon v fr thread...or go to the WotC thread history of the FR sub board. WHAT!!!!???? I call bs, every bit of proof (mostly sercumstantial) points to the reverse...that is just out right lieing at this point... oh, so you weren't lieing per say...just makeing up what you want to be true...based on nothing HA...really then tell me why LFR is going strong? if you are going to just make stuff up with not proof, how are we going to discuse this at all??? really??? are you forgetting earlier posts in this very thread?? you know what this is getting use nowhere, so let me recap teh first post... now I think we have seen those players in this very thread...
