If an author says that it's too much work to keep consistent to existing Realmslore, maybe it's time to get a new job? As far as DMs go, I can understand that it's a lot of extra work, if you have no previous knowledge of the Realms. However, how is it any different from DMs new to Eberron having to read dozens of accessories PLUS dozens of novels? Oh, and the Dragonshard articles as well. I have only read a single Eberron book ('Tales from the Last War'), but I've also taken a glimpse at some of the accessories and articles, and seems to me that the same depth of details and "burden of lore" is there as well.So how is Eberron, with all that lore I "should" read before running it, any different from FR? Because as far as I'm concerned, most of the FR products released during the AD&D era were not that relevant, and probably almost half of the products released during the 3E era were regional books -- which, in my rough estimation, probably brings the amount of "required reading" on par with Eberron.If I think it's too much trouble (as those who thought running FR was) to start an Eberron campaign, can I now cry: "It's too much work! I want the 'Mournplague' to happen! Give me Eberron that does not require me to read and memorize *dozens* of books!"</blockquote>
