Ask the Planescape, Dark Sun and Known World fans fans how they like having nothing published. Or even better the blackmail of "buy Expedition to Greyhawk Ruins or they will never publish anything Greyhawk again". At least the Realms has a choice between supporting the new stuff or sticking with the old stuff. Horrible WotC, to support their most popular setting. The sheer evil of their mind/wallet control making millions buy the novels. Dirty, dirty heathen monkeys that they are. Pardon me I have run out of hyperbole, maybe everyone could spare some of theirs.The whole of Abeir-Toril has been covered in source books. Unless something big happens there is no impetus to buy a new splat. How many different versions of Waterdeep and the North are there? 4? 5? How different are they? Not much, except stats. With The Grand History being released there is more info out there for playing FR than at any point of its 20+ year history. Blow the setting up and write some new material rather than cribbing from old splats. I think Ed Greenwood's campaign runs as if the ToT never happened. We could emulate Ed. Pick a point and go from there.Personally, the future of the Realms revealed in the prologue looks a heck of a lot like the old Grey box setting in 1E. I loved 1E FR. I am excited about the setting getting a tweak. Maybe the villains will be a threat to be opposed versus chumps to be knocked down. The Realms will need every Super-Novel-PC and all the home game PCs to fight for the good of Faerun. Sounds good like an FR campaign to me.</blockquote>
