[QUOTE="rogueattorney, post: 5319705, member: 17551"] The issue I have is with "world shaking events" being added to campaign settings that are already out. And while I can't say it "ruined my game*," it has made me not buy any more game products for that setting. If the meteor never hit Glantri in my world, then the source book that details all the changes to Glantri since the meteor hit simply isn't very useful to me. In the 2e days, there certainly seemed to be a cycle put together in which the campaign world is introduced, a short while later a number of adventures detail some sort of "world shaking event," and then the series of adventures would be followed by a new campaign world source book detailing the changes. The whole cycle was cynical and I wanted no part of it. *I say that, but then recall quitting FR's Avatar series about half-way through. We all just sort of said, "This is b.s.," and went on to conquer a good portion of the Moonsea area. But I think that had more to do with how bad those adventures were than the campaign world changes that were occurring. We didn't stick with the series long enough to actually see those changes take place, and I certainly never purchased any post-ToT FR materials. [/QUOTE]
