Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brian Compton" data-source="post: 3801746" data-attributes="member: 24898">I agree with the majority here- we've been given a great deal of information, and none of it makes the Realms look good in the end.  There have been some designer comments about a wish for FR and Eberron to become more "points of light in a sea of darkness" like the default setting, despite insistence that no one will muck with existing campaign worlds (the little sister on Bionic Woman gave a quote that would fit here, just can't remember it).  Look at the GHotR and you'll see that a few key NPC's are dead or gone, gods are dead (gods that until recently were getting an actual role rather than being throw-away references), and general chaos is the order of the day.  Not to mention a plot line which reeks of Dragonlance- I like Dragonlance, but come on, be more original- and you have a scenario which affects the whole world rather than a corner or two.  Many people like the Realms as it is, where big events happen but only affect their immediate environs.  When gods and falling celestial bodies get involved, the whole world changes, which doesn't make for useful incorporation into ongoing games.  We've heard for years that even Ed's own game hasn't moved into the ToT, so it sounds like he's not been adding ANY new stuff for over a decade- and he's the All-Father of Faerun!I may like to read about this "brave new world", but I don't know if I want my PC's to live there.</blockquote>
