I compare it with a kitchen with nearly any ingredient and instruments you could ever want. You can do incredible recipes and explore many ideas. What you CANNOT do is put everything from the kitchen and put it in a creuset and hope/think it will turn out great! I love that it is used as a lingua franca for D&D. If I go on a forum and I say one of my players is creating a cleric of Helm but wants to be a Trickery cleric, I dont have to spend hours explaining why I think this could be a bad fit. I love that even payers who are not well versed in the lore can be thrilled if you drop a Big Name (and FR has a lot of them!) to interact with. Name dropping Xanathar gets you the same wide eyes in a FR game as encountering Darth Vader in a Star Wars game would. I love that it is such a huge mess that nobody really cares if you butcher the canon because the canon itself doesnt make any sense anyway.</blockquote>
