[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7775622, member: 6670153"] They won't let Good Man Games do Desert of Desolation because it's been tied into FR lore and history (and yes I know it wasn't originally set there, but it got moved there during a key point in FR history). DoD was the first adventure and the first game product for the Forgotten Realms, I'm talking about the second FRified version. It also massively shaped the Eastern half of FR, radically forcing it to change from Ed's original vision, especially the South East of Faerun which had a huge ripple effect. See the mention of Mulan race, the Durpari race, and the Imaskari race, as well important geographical areas perdates the grey box that otherwise introduced the realms, because of DoD 2.0. So of all FR adventures I'd argue that DoD had the biggest impact shaping the realms. DoD changed key things about the old Kingdoms region, which later shaped the Unaporoachable East Region, and eventually even KaraTur. For the old empires region first the themes were shaped by DoD, then it was detailed in The Old Empires regional book, then Powers and Pantheons, then Lost Empires, then the Spellplague 4e FRCG, which radically transformed it, then the Sundering (SCAG, last parts of the Brimstone Angels Saga), where it was a mix of the old and new elements, in a new time. So they won't give up a module so vitally to a huge chunk of their default/star/favoured setting to another company. [/QUOTE]
