The books, with rare exception, in 3e have been well written and put together, and those that have been, I've purchased them and gotten decent use out of them. I don't regret buying useful, well written material in the 3e Realms(especially given that I don't have access to all of the more expansive 2e books for the setting).But...Retroactive cosmology changes with no in-game explanation... They bite and I simply don't swallow the paltry reasons given for them. Repeat after me: "It's always been that way" is a poor poor way to say 'I didn't like something so I just up and changed it. Deal with it and buy it anyway.'I'll still use the realms, I'll buy many of the books because outside of that point above they're typically well done. But some design is going to royally tick off your buyers regardless of how you dress it up and then fail to explain it after the fact. I can only say that it's a testament to the writing quality of certain 3e FR authors that I didn't wash my hands of the setting after the 'it's always been that way' mess.</blockquote>
