[QUOTE="Imban, post: 3990682, member: 29206"] Look, I thought the whole hanging Unther/Mulholrand plot was lame and wanted Shuruppak to fall down a well for as long as I can remember, so I don't have a horse in this one, but that's a really silly statement. We can't all run every campaign we've wanted to run, and that [b]doesn't[/b] mean that the ones not run were somehow deficient or not interesting enough. For instance, just a month or two ago I was brewing an Exalted campaign that I canned because another of my friends declared he was running one that had a similar premise and had more idea formulation done on it. This doesn't mean that the setting I had chosen for my game was "not interesting enough" compared the setting he had chosen for his, or anything like that. There are lots of reasons why you might hold off or can a campaign, lack of interest only one among them. *shrugs* While the new FR has a good bit more magical geography, I sure hope not. I hated the Scarred Lands with a fiery passion because they adhered strictly to the White Wolf trope that everyone was either living in a rubbish heap, screwed seven ways from Sunday, or blatantly evil. Granted, Cormyr is apparently doing better than ever, and Myth Drannor seems to still be a good guy nation after its rebuilding in late 3e, so I don't think this one is coming about. Honestly, I get more of the Scarred Lands cosmological feel in the core setting. While the Scarred Lands cosmology had some strong White Wolfish influences ("all wizards' spellcasting is contributing directly to a future armageddon!"), it wasn't bad, all in all. I'm not sure how much I appreciate the Gods vs. Primordials struggle taking place in the core setting, since it tends to be an overwhelming focus in whatever cosmology it's in, but whatever. [/QUOTE]
