[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7928567, member: 6895991"] [USER=6677017]@Sword of Spirit[/USER] and [USER=7006]@DEFCON 1[/USER] If 5e FR had been a freeze in time, where do you place it? In the end of the other material so it includes all stuff before? Well they did that except they did not freeze it :P Or in greybox area? Would be superneat, but then everything after would be useless, and no dragonborn for you then :P Eberron otoh has been designed from scratch to have a status quo. It has less cataclysmic effects and big threats are less whole world effecting than in FR. (This reflects in the more distant deity concept of eberron also. But, I want to know, I really really want to know that thing: [B]Apart from official CRPG Products (Neverwinter, DDO, Baldurs gate) who can truly say this:[/B] [COLOR=rgb(235, 107, 86)]"I play in FR since 30+ years and I use all the official stuff in its given order either as an adventure arc or at least as given lore up to a certain point in time"[/COLOR] All the discussions about this topic are implying that at least 75% of the FR DMs act this way. I used official stuff nearly unmodified, either because it was of very good quality, ready to go, or I did have no time to prepare. Many people argue they do not have time to prepare, therefore they want to use stuff as written. I mean, I do not have much time sometimes, but most of the official stuff needs polishing, either to suit my style, or to avoid paradox. And in the end only a percentage of your players will note, if something is to far astray from the official lore, and even if they note it, most of them would not care. [/QUOTE]
