[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 2417814, member: 4682"] I put yes, but only because it was so long ago when I lost my enthusiasm for it. And I was certainly among the most enthusiastic. Man was I a raging fanboy, the first boxed set knocked my socks off. I signed up for that initial newsletter that never survived more than a single issue. I know it's been so often said by others to have been their point of losing interest that it is nearly cliché, but the Time of Troubles and first hardcover book began my losing interest. But what did it most was the plethora of novels. They kept coming and coming, and so many of them did nothing improve the setting and so many of them just made new :):):):) up instead of taking the extra effort to work with what has already been published. Every one was just another nail in the coffin for me. Why, oh why, was there such rotten coordination between the RPG group and the novels group in the company... So for me it was long long ago when I turned away. If the novels ever got better with the treatment of the world, I wouldn't know. Today, I would say that it has all turned to indifference. There is so much else out there to work with it is not worth my bother getting all riled up over the issues. Still, I have bought some of the 3e FR rulebooks of places I once was obsessed with. Not bad stuff. Not good IMO enough to divert my money from my other interests now though. [/QUOTE]
