Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 8444878" data-attributes="member: 6801228">My point is saying "he was 16 when he made it" is completely beside the point, because these maps and designs HAVE changed. He wasn't 16 when the Spellplague changed the map and Realms entirely. He wasn't 16 when 5e reversed that. He could have made the decision to change during any of these periods of alteration. Now, if you want to argue that he has no reason to care, because no other settings care, then that is a different argument. One that is slightly valid, because there is no real reason to get bogged down in minutia like window dressings. But Greenwood HAS gotten bogged down in that minutia, and had plenty of chances to change things (it isn't like Phandalin's map is 55 years old, it was designed for 5e's adventure). So the age at which he created the Realms is not a defense against criticism.</blockquote>
