[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 3744227, member: 424"] 'Points of Light' is a setting philosphy, not a game mechanic. Nowhere have I seen that 'Points of Light' is a requirement of 4E. I don't get the why for a 'reboot' of the Realms. It can't be just to re-image the FR to conform to their paradigm for their default setting, because if it is the intent, then expect some Mournland on steriods calamity to hit Ebberon the following year to re-image to a 'points of light' paradigm. As for changes to better support the RPGA - I hope not. Living campaigns are favor of the month things - they come and go with regularity and I think it is bad decision making to mess with a campaign setting in a major way for the sake of running a Living campaign for a few years and then on to another Living campaign. No, there is more to this than meets the eye and no doubt the Orc King is giving us a tiny glimpse of one piece of the picture puzzle and we are all guessing what the picture is from that one glimpse. Realms fans should not jump off the cliff just yet. ;) [/QUOTE]
