Maybe he's a really busy guy and hasn't read much about FR, I don't know how he schedules his time, honestly. But being in the position he is in, I assume he knows enough about FR to realize it's not exactly, nor entirely, a medieval-setting game.And the thing is people who learn about FR by reading it will come to realize it's very different from GH. If they're told by someone else, that person should be able to show and tell them the big differences. I do all the time with new players when explaining what a campaign setting is and the different types of settings out there. When talking about GH and FR, there's more than just a subtle difference. What I have problems with is explaining the differences between FR and Eberron. Those two confuse new people only because they're both described as "highly magical" and I get a lot of quirked eyebrows when I tell them Eberron is more "pulp-noir" (then I have to explain what that term means) and then they say something like "Oh, why can't you have that same style in FR?" So, yeah, if anything Eberron and FR are rather hard to differentiate in terms than GH and FR. With Eberron, I just open a book and show them pictures and then show them FR pictures to compare, then they understand the setting differences</blockquote>
