[QUOTE="Midknightsun, post: 6486907, member: 46459"] IMHO, its certainly far from perfect in execution, but the ideas are good and my group seems to like it so far. I will say that I have added personal touches and connections to help them feel more a part of the world around them and I believe that helped. But I could care less than zero whether or not it conflicts with FR lore, FR history, if it caused Elminster to have seizures due to the paradoxes in the time space continuum, or if it resulted in Drizzt being pushed off into the endless pit of painful abrasions- but that's just me. I can see that to some this is a big deal to have Tiamat run ragged over the Realms without one of the big NPCs showing up. To me, however, that just means the Realms needs to be scrapped because its way to confined. Again, execution of the module (more HotDQ, really) was haphazard, but Tiamat showing up in the Realms, not a problem for us. Maybe she can eat a few of those annoying NPCs before the PCs take her out- -Elminster becoming Tia-poop by the end of my campaign- totally going to happen. . . . and Drizzt- that may not end well either if he shows himself (haven't decided yet). Whether or not its in Faerun, the story should be about them first and not E, or D, or any other NPC. I see the FR history as a guideline, not a choke collar, so I have no problem making allowances, where needed, to make the adventure about the PCs. [/QUOTE]
