But I have to say that I really don't understand why the timeline advancing is so upsetting to people. It's Forgotten Realms, it's always done that. Time of Troubles, anyone? It's not exactly a new thing. Thus, if you like Forgotten Realms, you should be used to it by now. If you like Forgotten Realms at one particular point of time? Play in that time period. Veer off into your own timeline. If the players at your table don't want to do that, you might want to work with them to come up with a campaign all will enjoy, rather than trying to force them into your viewpoint.As for me, I *love* that Forgotten Realms continues to advance. That's what keeps me interested in the setting. If they suddenly stopped advancing, or started ignoring the events of the novels, I'd probably stop buying the products. (Forgotten Realms products are the only ones I've bought since 3.5 came out since I'm just, in general, interested in the setting, even if I haven't had a game to play.)</blockquote>
