But let me preface by stating I do not run Forgotten Realms. As a matter of fact, I haven't ran this setting since the grey box set when I developed my own homebrew.  Despite that, I've kept up on the release of Forgotten Realms books. I absolutely adore the 3E stuff; beautifully detailed yet not entirely concise. And granted, that's what I love about the 4E book. It's extremely concise, but missing all of the little details. It's focused more on plot hooks than background information. That's not what I dislike about it though... Are you ready? I hate the fact that there wasn't a single adventure leading up to the Spellplague.  ... The Time of Troubles had adventures published around that event, and other major events throughout 3E. But what about the damnable Spellplague? Not a single iota of supplimental Dungeons and Dragons gaming material, beyond the fan-to-first party published Grand History of the Realms, and a pre-4E Drizzt (bleh) novel. Nothing was set into the players, or gamemaster's hands, to help facilitate their 3E campaigns over to a 100 year later Realmpocalypse(!). Maybe that's the thorn in thr proverbial lion's paw that people are upset over. Seems to be that's the underlying issue and why detractors are not accepting the radical changes to the Realms. For me, it doesn't really change my games since I don't run Forgotten Realms anyhow. Yet it does make me wonder - what were the developers thinking? Where is the supplimental material leading up the Spellplague? Will prequel adventures be published at some point?  My 2 cents,daniel</blockquote>
