Because we don't accept the Realms as written or because there are those that chose to play their version of the Realms? I believe WotC knows this. I believe they are well aware of this fact, hence the reason sales are so good for FR stuff. Not everyone that buys an FR book plays it canon or follows the Realms "as written by WotC."And ya know what? I don't think they care how you use their books or how you play the Realms? Why would they? They are a company. They are in the business to make money. And selling books makes money. So, once they get your sale, you can do with the book what you want: use it, burn it, throw it away, whatever. They made a sale and that is the bottom line.Also- its not like the writers don't expect negative feedback. They know not everyone is gonna like all their stuff. It is impossible to write a book or make a product that 100% of the masses totally agree with. WotC knows this. They dont care. They dont have to. Now, dont construe this as me saying they dont care about gamers, or this site, or anything like that. That is not what I am saying. All I am saying is that it is ok to deviate from what WotC wrote without offending them.As has been pointed out, the books are all tools to do with as you wish. You wanna play canon, as is. Cool. Ya wanna take bits of this and bits of that and make your own world? Cool too. That's what Greenwood did way back in the 70's and 80's when he made the Realms and before TSR picked it up and published it. The Realms were a Homebrew campaign. The only official campaign at that time was Greyhawk.</blockquote>
