[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 3190846, member: 11760"] Please define "RSE" for those of us who don't have their Elminster Crime Fighter Club decoder rings with us. Or, alternately, why wouldn't struggling to save what you view as the "heart" of the Realms elevate this adventure above "oh, we can go rescue that town we never heard of and save the NPCs we don't care about?" Big trilogies of hardcover adventures should aspire to be the Lord of the Rings, not The Village of Hommlet. Any time a love of canon supercedes a campaign setting being the setting for heroic adventure, it's time to start smashing away at canon, IMO. [i]Threatening[/i] Shadowdale (which will be undone by the end of the trilogy, I'm confident) is a lot different from, say, the Greyhawk Wars or any of the insanity inflicted on Krynn or even all of Toril's gods smacking the crap out of each other while PCs stood around and watched.
