Message: <blockquote data-quote="sunmaster" data-source="post: 3989379" data-attributes="member: 54722">I also wanted always to start a FR Campaign but couldn't because not only there is a mass amount of stuff but _also_ this mass amount of stuff can nowhere be found. You know if I want to use a setting like FR then I want to let it live in the imaginations of my players. I don't want to make "my own FR" because then this is not the FR which is written by beginning with Greenwood over Salvatore to all the other authors. I don't want to make Blackstaff a Gnome warrior because as a GM I can do it. I want to impersonate (is this the right word???) him as he was imagined by the original author. So now we are at the point of the problem: If i want to use Khelben as he is written by the authors a) show me all the books which describe him - with the requirement that these descriptions have to be up to date because if I am GMming in the year 2525 and Khelben died 2524 then I want to have this fact right at the game table -b) show me ,please, where I can today _now_ get all these books - to make Khelben live in my game -.Oh year, all the people who collected all the stuff over all these years can laugh now because they can read up the needed information. Maybe, maybe all the people in the USA can laugh now, too, because I can imagine that there it is very easy to get all these books. But all other people have only a half (third, fourth) right Forgotten Realms. Most facts are not right. And to get all the facts _today_ (01/12/08) right they have only one chance: Bittorrent , the newly opened FLGS, come and read and learn all things about FR  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Then there is another point of view:If I as a GM can make FR as I want to - for example because I read only the descriptions in the 3rd Ed. CS and most local facts are not mentioned there because they are scattered in the hundred other books - a) is this FR any more (Khelben as a Gnome warrior, Waterdeep is reigned by an Elf, Waterdeep has 150 inhabitants and other misinformation) , is this bringing the feeling and history and deepness of FR into the minds of the players ?b) why should I use FR if I have to come with all setting information anyway because I can not find all needed information?So I am also in the group of the people who calls the world shattering event "welcome".</blockquote>
