[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 88165, member: 424"] No, you not completely wrong in your assessment. The Realms are starting to get a overworked feel to them. I have DMed the Realms since they first come out. I think it is a case of 'familiarity breeding contempt' syndrome. Over the years, the Realms have changed, yet they have stayed the same. The Realms are 'too' familiar now. At this point, for me, the Realms is like a old comfortable chair. I enjoy it, but sometimes, I wonder what a new chair would be like. Still, I keep things fresh. 'Infinite possibilities through infinite diversity' is my motto. Regardless of the comfortable old feel of the Realms, I can make them seem fresh and exotic. I do this by running campaigns in 'off the beaten track' places. My players know alot about the Heartlands, the Dalelands, Cormyr, and the Sword Coast North. Now I run campaigns in the Bandit Kingdoms, the Shaar, the Utter East and other less know locales. And since the players are not familiar with them, they appear as fresh, exotic places again.
