For example, the Baldur's Gate series has barely anything to do with being in the Forgotten Realms, for example. There probably aren't many fans of FR who know nothing about the game series. But if there are, I suspect they would not be able to tell it was an FR story if they got a "names changed to protect the innocent" version told to them.The Forgotten Realms is just so terribly, terribly bland in the implementations I've seen. Being a fantasy kitchen sink doesn't mean a setting needs to be unflavored oatmeal. My own home setting, for example, is very much a kitchen sink (though Arabian Nights/Golden Age of Islam-flavored, rather than pseudo-medieval faux-European) and I would say it is not at all bland.</blockquote>
