Much as the DMG fails to have all the rules and information needed to run D&D without the PHB, I'm expecting the Player's Guide to the Realms to fill in a lot of these gaps. We've already seen in preview info that it gives a further examination of each region from the perspective of what the players would know; I see the Campaign Guide (note Guide, not Setting) as a 'For DM's Eyes Only' book of background secrets. If my suspicion is correct, I'm only truly bothered by the fact that I think they should have released the Player's Guide first. I will have a negative view of the product if, after the PGtFR has been released, we are still lacking a historical background and timeline or further regional details. Until then I see these kind of complaints as being built on partial information and a misunderstanding of the new way the books are meant to complement each others' details. Oh, and as a side-note... it may have been simply the personalizations I made to them, but the Avatar series of adventures were among those that my players most frequently requested I expose new players to. They were only beaten out by my group's love of Curse of the Azure Bonds. We strayed off course during those adventures quite often and still managed to hit the selling points of the story; an adventure should be a goldmine of ideas and not a straightjacket, much like an alignment. As always, my opinion only.</blockquote>
