[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 3773314, member: 3867"] I kept up on the Realms more back in the 2e days, but I lost track in 3e. It sounds like they're having something along the line of the Avatar trilogy in order to adjust to the new rules on magic. *sigh* Again we're faced with the question of whether a setting adjusts to fit the rules, or whether rules adjust to fit the setting. I tend to believe that setting and story come first, though there should be some amount of compromise. A world can take only so many cataclysms. In Dragonlance, they tried adding a second one, and it never really went over well, IMO. Having the Time of Troubles is one thing. Doing it again, not so much. Then you expect a cataclysmic event at the start of each new edition. My fantasy gaming focus these days is Dragonlance (and soon to be Pathfinder!). The Realms hold a special place in my heart since my first campaign was set there. If I ever do return to the Realms, I anticipate it being to the 2e Realms that I know and love. I'm going to buy this book, as it sounds like a lot of fun. My support beyond it will probably be minimal. [/QUOTE]
