Message: <blockquote data-quote="GM Dave" data-source="post: 5792700" data-attributes="member: 6687992">If they do decide to actively support FR in 5e then they should at least do a reverse in time and start fresh at 100 years prior to the Time of Troubles.This would give the designers and players still the 'base' world that people are familiar with working and writing within.Much of Ed's work is detailed enough to help cover this period of time.Many of the big name characters are long lived enough that 100 years prior to the time of troubles is still within their life time but covers more of their 'youth'.Players and GMs could then use the new material with their saved older material to create 'generation' stories.  They would have mapped out over 200 years of time covering from before the Time of Troubles to after the Spell Plague.  A player with an elf or dwarf could cover some adventures in their youth (Heroic), later life around the Time of Troubles (Paragon), and finally dealing with the true insanity of the Spell Plague (Epic).  Other players could deal with characters that are the children, grand children, and great grand children of their human or halfling parents.It also gives the GMs that dislike Dragonborn and Tiefling a go to time when these don't need to be included in their campaigns.Older materials can be justified as being still 'there' in developing forms while there is still plenty of space for horrors to have existed and been wiped out between the prior 100 years and the Time of Troubles period.</blockquote>
