Beagle, late 1E art, and the art of WHFRP)A quick aside here: the scarredlands have a lot more of thier world built into the rules and that is not what I look for in a campaign setting. In my mind FR gives me the most (crunch and background) to work with and show through my lens. Yes I do add stuff, but it is within the context of the canon.  I like the fact that I can add Rappan Athuk, the moathouse dungeon, the banewarrens, Hollowfaust, and Cauldron to the realms and there is still versimilitude along with Waterdeep, Vassa and Dammara, Anarouch, and the Silver marches.  Aaron.</blockquote>
