(1) tell everyone up front its Your Realms.  (2) Pick an area you like and then run it like you would any other game using the FR material as your guidlines.  I would not alter the way I run the campaign from has obviously worked for you in the past.  (3) as mentioned above stay away from the major NPC's, or better yet kill'em off or make them disappear.  Make it your player's realms too.  (4) Have fun.  If it feels right to you it will probably to your players as well.Thullgrim</blockquote>
