[QUOTE="Dragon Snack, post: 3937125, member: 9810"] Don't you know that anyone who disagrees with WotC on teh intrawebs is just part of a 'small but vocal community'... I knew nothing about the FR before 3.0 came out, but the group I was with wanted to game there. It was cool having a setting with some background that everyone could access if they wanted. I bought lots of FR stuff (both 3.x and 2E stuff for the fluff) to run my games and expand my knowledge (and oddly, I probably know more than anyone else in my group about the FR now), but I used the background as a starting point - not a constraint. Now that stuff is pretty useless (it's not just history, now it's ancient history) and I'm not going to bother relearning the Realms. I'll restart my homebrew, if I even bother with 4.0... As for 'new gamers' knowing about the FR, why is now going to be any different than a few years back (when the video games were first released)? If they didn't make the jump then, why will they make the jump now (into a setting that is different from that portrayed in the games and novels)? [/QUOTE]
