[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 3429212, member: 14197"] Maybe I should rephrase it. I have friends that have read a ton of the FR books and they tell me that there's so many events that have happened in the books (especially in 2e) that has reflected itself in the FR supplements that have come out. I can't tell you what they are, since they were speaking generally. I am not intimidated by campaigns, I prefer published settings over homebrew because I don't have time to dedicate as much time to making the stew as I would like. But I guess I prefer settings that are essentially "point in time" settings. I've heard that Kalamar is like that, though I haven't read enough to form an opinion about that, but Mark Plemmons says it's one of their selling points. I don't like the meta-plot that the Scarred Lands novels played out so we didn't include that history, but otherwise I like Scarred Lands. Wilderlands is great. That's all I have to say about that. Actually there is meta-plot in the Iron Kingdoms world that is based upon the happenings in the Witchfire trilogy, but that sounds like a great campaign. The truth is, I have almost all the 3e FR books. I like some of the flavor and I steal from it regularily, but there seems to be soooo much history and events and things that have played out since it came out that I don't have time to catch up on... well, maybe the breadth of the history of Toril IS intimidating to me. Maybe overwhelming is a better word. Or maybe there's alternatives that are just better suited to my campaign ideas. I will likely DM War of the Burning Sky after my Savage Tide campaign since that is a world that seems to suit my style of DMing. Fleshed out, but not really. [/QUOTE]
