[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 4829111, member: 51747"] When Wizards of the Coast announced they were (basickly) rebooting the Forgotten Realms, I was not happy. I remember them citing reasons for the reboot as: there is so much canon that it was difficult for new authors to join in, if a throwaway line clashed with something written 15 years ago the internet would jump all over it, etc. I also remember thinking that those were bunk. And I am sure I said as much. Repeatedly and publickly. Now I am a publisher. Working on the Traveller License from Mongoose, I'm getting to know the ins and outs of its long time fans. Lately I have seen changes made (regardless of why the change was made, ranging from conscious decision to standardize conflicting canon to not possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of 30 years of canon) get jumped all over. After 30 years of a setting there is a substantial amount of setting to know. So I would like to own up to my comments made to and about Wizards of the Coast. I am sure their decision was not easy to make. I am sorry for my comments, and I wish you well in the future. [/QUOTE]
