[QUOTE="Glade Riven, post: 5915721, member: 86468"] I'm equating George Lucas's demand on the Expanded Universe franchise to remain true to itself (aka - a mostly solid canonical universe, even if there are a few ad-hocs here and there) with the general consistancy of the Forgotten Realms, along with a similar timeline with multiple eras. There is a question of where to have the starting point (somewhere in the middle? My FR lore isn't that strong to pick a point). I'm not sure how using FR is inherently alienating to non-FR players, and I'm one of them. I've been a player in one short campaign in the setting, but that's it. I've never DMed the setting, I've barely played the setting, and I was kinda off-put on the setting by how 3e presented it, despite the claim of many forum members that it was the best setting presentation of all of 3e/3.5 (I did eventually read most of the 3.5 setting books and a handful of novels). Using the generalities of Greyhawk or Nettier Vale (which wasn't originally ment to be a setting). One way or another, I still reskin it as something else. I'm [I]not[/I] saying to copy the mechanics of Saga. There were some balance issues (especially when dealing with starship and normal scale), and it wasn't perfect. What I'm thinking of is strictly on the presentation side of things: You have your "core" era, probably based on the 3e/3.5 books, another book that covers 2e or even 1e era FR, and a third book covering the era of 4e FR.
