The continual string of RSE's, one after the other (and recently, overlapping. I.e. The Year of Rogue Dragons and the Elven Crusade novels) makes it hard to keep up with the changes in the Realms, and lessens the impact of them. Now, if the FR novel department concentrated on smaller scale plots for the majority of their novels, I think it would be great. Adventurers setting out to meet local challenges, detailing the various cities and towns around the Realms. I'd happily buy those novels. They are even quite doable in the 'current' Realms. It's been proven by the Sembia series, the Wizards/Rogues/Fighters series etc. However, we have a situation where we are getting RSE's nigh on constantly. That's not to say RSE's are necessarily a bad thing, but all things in moderation. Cutting down the RSE's to maybe once every two or three years in real time would be nice.</blockquote>
