The sad fact is that the novels seemingly contribute more to the bottom line than the RPG products and so there seems to be some sort of pressure to include the latest RAS-crafted gungan, for example, in the next FR RPG release (probably to try and drive further FR novel sales). If the metaplot was excised, it would make FR so much more accessible as there would be no Drizzt- or Elminster-created plots to keep track of.I have enjoyed every iteration of FR from the OGB (actually, from the original Dragon articles) to the new 4E version which I am still running games in. I understood why the 4E changes were made and am happy to run with them. Nevertheless, I still don't know why the Next reset doesn't simply either go back to the Old Grey Box or to 1375 DR. Wipe out the Spellplague and associated events entirely. (Actually, I do know why: the novel authors, particularly RAS, are too important to the brand.)</blockquote>
