[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 7890359, member: 6993955"] So, I find the Realms interesting. The dictionary definition of interesting usually reads something like "arousing curiosity or interest; holding or catching the attention". No mention of difficult or challenging. I find the written background of the Realms interesting and I also find the immense blank spaces in between compelling. As a long time player I also find the evolution of the Realms from edition to edition interesting. You have a pretty narrow definition of interesting, one which I think indexes better what you find interesting rather than what is interesting generally. Conflating your idea of what makes something interesting with a more usual definition is going to cause some bumps in the conversation here. I'm pretty sure you aren't telling people that your opinion of what's interesting matters more than theirs, but it can be read like that. [/QUOTE]
