[QUOTE="Mournblade94, post: 4723865, member: 74608"] I was only referring to this question in the context of someone that thought the realms was too much work. I have never read an Eberron book. If I was asked to write an adventure for it I would be able to create a good, relevent, adventure with only perusing the main source book for Eberron. The realms was the same. If however you wanted to write a realms changing campaign, maybe then you would have to research more. In that quote above I am assuming the context of an individual that thinks the realms is too 'hard', 'much', 'complex', 'esoteric', and other appropriate words. In that context, I asked why would someone then want to use the realms. It is not a difficult world with which to work. I did repeat this using the assumption I described above. It most certainly is a players call. Some people though need support for their favourite setting. I am not one of those, I could write adventures for the forgotten realms all I want, or modify modules for the setting. Someone that wanted support though is pretty much shagged if they don't like the DRASTIC change, and shift of complete paradigm. It is no longer the campaign setting they wanted, nor is it the one they have come to accept. Its one thing to come up with a new rules system. People choose campaigns for a particular spectrum of adventure they enjoy. Many FR fans feel as if that spectrum was changed on them completely. INstead of green realms they are now playing red realms. It is no different that saying 'we are now discontinuing Star Wars material and giving you this new campaign setting'. Ok Star Wars fans, we are taking away the force. There are many empires now Klingon and Romulan are some of them. The entire new republic/rebel alliance/republic is now being called star fleet. If you liked Star Trek that is great. If you liked Star Wars though you are screwed. The rub though is that Star Trek already exists, there is no where for Star Wars fans to go and have their product supported. [/QUOTE]
