Message: <blockquote data-quote="dead" data-source="post: 1838741" data-attributes="member: 18707">I ran a Realms campaign once. It was in the North.I think the North is a great place for a fledgling FR campaign. It's got high society (Waterdeep); majestic kingdoms (Silverymoon); the sinister Underdark (Menzoberanzan); and the wide, wide frontier.The campaign was a bit of a flash in the pan, however. You see, I'm a long-time Greyhawker and I felt that my Realms game didn't seem any different to adventuring in GH. I mean, I was probably just running FR wrong, but to me *at the time* it was just another generic-D&D backdrop. Which isn't a bad thing!!!! GH is a generic D&D backdrop and it's great. The Realms is very good too . . . but if you're running a GH campaign, there's not much point in running an FR campaign. Not enough variation between the two settings, I think. I don't know, perhaps I'm not seeing it. [Not having a go at the Realms here. I love the Realms. In fact, I own more Realms books than GH books!]So why'd I run a Realms campaign if I was happy with GH? Well . . . this was during the Planescape era and I'd got the wacky idea in my brain of running one GH campaign; one FR campaign; and one Dragonlance campaign and linking them all through Sigil and the Outer Planes.I soon learnt that this was veeeery difficult manage and spead my talents across too wide an area. So I ditched the Realms. (I never started the DL campaign.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
