[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 3821302, member: 9254"] Obviously you've never dealt with a fandom player. Try playing Serenity with a Browncoat, or Buffy with a junior Watcher. Trust me, it sucks. There are many people who treat canon as holy and get bent out of shape over deviations. How bent out of shape depends on the person but some of them can get seriously upset over the piddliest things. I'm only going to point out that pretty much every good setting starts out as a "point of light" campaign. Dragonlance, Greyhawk, Darksun (more Points of "dim" in the dark), Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Earthdawn, WW's old WoD, Rifts, Twilight 2000, heck, even Synnibar was a "PoL" setting. Does it suck for FR people that WotC's exercising their perogative to change the setting? Yeah, sure. But at least they're jumping things forward 100 years, ToT was pretty harsh. And for the people who bemoan the lack of a 3e version of certain cities, c'mon, really? Setting material is pretty system agnostic. If you can't live without the update when there isn't a RSE, are you sure you aren't one of those fandom players that drives many DMs nuts? [/QUOTE]
