[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7682261, member: 5100"] I'm 100% on board with this. I don't see myself ever getting this book because it's an FR book and, well, I just don't buy stuff labeled FR. If they released a generic "Adventurer's Guide" that had the crunchy bits as stand-alone, but included sidebars for "The PDKs of Cormyr are one example of an order made up largely of Warlords. The Royal Guard of the Great Kingdom is another, with a somewhat darker take," I'd be pretty happy. They could even pay substantively more attention to the Realms, as long as it wasn't exclusive. The biggest problem with that is they don't want to do a crunch-only book and probably don't have enough publishable crunch to do so, anyway. They also want to push the Realms as much as possible because they can't tell one brand from another. All that aside, the Mastermind looks pretty cool. Even though I don't see me breaking my 26ish year (i.e. since the gray box) streak of avoiding Forgotten Realms products, I'll happily use the free crunch in my games. [/QUOTE]
