[QUOTE="sunmaster, post: 3989477, member: 54722"] No, I could not. Because there [B]is[/B] written how some things and/or some persons are in the setting. If I am going to start a new Middle Earth game today and just because either a) I was too lazy to read or b) I read some book about it but not the full tomes or c) I couldn't read up becuse i coudln't found the books I introduce "Gandalf the Green" - becuse I am the GM and I can do with my world what I want and because I just don't know that Gandalf is not green but dependent on the played time grey or white - do you really think that this "my" Middle Earth can be called Middle Earth or that the players can have the feeling of Middle Earth if they knew that Gandalf is white not green? There is one difference: For this actual edition there are all the things already written. For the new material even if I have to change some tidbit later it would not be a breaker because - let me explain - if they in the first book - the 4th campaign setting -say that the buildings in the new Baldur's Gate consist of Holland cheese and I describe the cheese to my players this cheese (and its smelling) then we together have one consisting imagination. Then if the authors change it in the next book - the Baldur's Gate book - to French camembert - with some explanation to why of this change - and I after reading it explain it to my players in their next visit to BG then [B]again[/B] we will have a consisting imagination. But if I tell them today that Waterdeep is reigned by an Elf with his five sons and five daugthers as princes then I will break the right imagination of Waterdeep in the minds of the players. AND I can in the new edition very easily keep up with all information and all changes. For the last editions - especially the before last editions - I have even to consult not so legal ways of getting the information. We can discuss in a friendly manner or we can stop discussing. Putting words in my writing is not right. Quote me, please, Sir, where I said that I don't like FR. Quote me where i said that I don't want to play FR. [/QUOTE]
