[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1282732, member: 7464"] I know virtually nothing about the Forgotten Realms. I always thought it would be fun to DM a session where the players were FR buffs. My idea goes something like this: The are given a run-of-the-mill 1st level quest by a run-of-the-mill person in a major city like Waterdeep. They go off to the dungeon and complete the adventure. When they return to Waterdeep, the city is gone. A massive hole in the earth suggests that something just scooped up the city wholesale, leaving nary a trace. All the witnesses they can find are totally insane. Upon traveling to other cities, they find that the same thing has happened to all of them. The gods aren't responding to divinations on the subject, and mystical heroes like Elminster are "missing." Imagine the FR without major population centers, massive numbers of homicidally insane villagers running through the wilderness, and all high-level NPCs mysteriously gone. Then imagine the reaction to such a setting from people who've been reading the novels since they were ten years old - and imagine me telling them that because of this, none of the events in the novels will ever take place.
