[QUOTE="jester47, post: 683625, member: 2238"] I like the new maps and the little changes don't bother me all that much, my FR campaign uses canon in a wild way. Its the big changes. The only one I have found that really glares is the Dungeon of Swords. I am keeping it the way I like it. Thats the thing about canon in RPGs, it isn't. Its just a collection of big suggestions. I have said many times before that my FR looks like a train wreck of WHFRP, The last Unicorn, Elements from Time Bandits (the age of wonders and the fight scene with the Minotaur), The original Greyhawk, Dragonslair, and elements from the D&D cartoon(the locations and weirdness in that were great). So all in all you get this very dark wierd and brutal high fairytale fantasy. For example, I dont look at the pictures in my FR stuff. (unless the art hits the nail on the head, which it does for the most part in 3e for the monsters and the NPCs. Lockwood and many of the other illustrators for FR do a good job with tier people. 2e art is right out. 1e art is a mixed bag. However for everything else, pictures of cities, layouts of places, terrain... most of it gets thrown out the window. I read the descriptions and come up with what I see in my mind. Like what I did with darkhold in the plots and places. I do like the city layouts though, those are good. So the differences don't really bother me all that much. I do like the new maps however. Makes the place look less boreing. But the dungeon of swords actually fit somthing that I designed when my campaign was in greyhawk, almost to a T. And so I was disappointed when I found they changed it. Oh well. Still, I would like to know if that is a mistake or not. Aaron. [/QUOTE]
