[QUOTE="Uzzy, post: 3766031, member: 51590"] No. You tell them that Elminster is out of town dealing with Larloch's latest plot. Or the Malaugryms. Or Shades. Or anyone one of the many, many high level evil powers who could annihilate the PC's in one stroke. So the adventurers can deal with the little orc problem, rather then bother someone who has bigger problems to deal with. Of course. Spoiler. [COLOR=Black]However, Khelben's dead. Permanently. He's done his job, and is hanging out in Arvandor now. If that doesn't suit you, the bring him back![/COLOR] You have all the control over the future of the Forgotten Realms. At least in your home game. If you don't like the latest RSE, then don't use it. Heck, my own game is very different to the canonical one. FRCS = Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. It's the main book for the Realms, yeah. The PC's are very much the heroes in my FR game. *shrug* Heh. My favourite novels are the ones with the small scale and lower levels. Those by Elaine Cunningham, for instance. Give me those anyday! Anyway, I think we've sidetracked this thread a little! I'd hate to see the 4th Edition Realms lose most of it's flavour. Heck, I'd rather see the back of the High Level NPC's then lose Waterdeep, Cormyr, Sembia and the Dales as they are now. Gradual change is fine, as the sourcebooks are written in such a way that even people with slightly alternate Realms can make use of them. Most of the time, at least. I've not had the Elven Crusade in my Realms, so I've little use for the new modules. But I've still got use for the likes of Champions of Valour, Magic of Faerún etc. A 100 year jump would likely kill any use for the 4th Edition Realms products in my campaign. Which would be sad.
