[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7261188, member: 5100"] Meant to reply to this earlier..... Good to know. It's the one that pretty much turned me off to anything folks said was FRINO (Forgotten Realms in Name Only) -- which means I've only looked at the starter set, PotA, and Curse of Strahd -- other than HotDQ. Funny enough, I actually kinda liked some of the core ideas of HotDQ. I just didn't want to run it in the Realms. Or use half-dragons, but that's a different issue. I actually started converting it to Eberron. Instead of a caravan, I was going to put everything on the Lightning Rail, which actually would have given it a very cool Murder on the Orient Express feel -- very appropriate for Eberron. In the process, I realized that I was on the path to pretty much rewriting the whole thing and using the original as inspiration -- kinda like most Stephen King movies. We have a lot of parents in the group and missed enough games due to kids activities that, by the time we were done with LMoP, PotA was out and had an obvious segue. So, I abandoned HotDQ as something that didn't really save me time as a DM. Do tell. As I said, the naming turns me off, so I haven't even seen the actual insides of VGtM. I recently grabbed the stats for the PC races on DDB, but that's it. When I asked about how Realms-oriented it was, someone on these boards said that it was largely generic, but had some Realms content and made some broad assumptions about using the Realms. So, I kinda wrote it off. [/QUOTE]
