[QUOTE="CAFRedblade, post: 6063828, member: 34503"] The stance that story advancements in a campaign setting, any campaign setting, ruins it is odd to me to some degree. If you don't advance things story-wise then you have a static world and may as well never publish anything again. If you are DM'ing that setting, using a previous edition, have all the books, even if a change in rule set appears, there is nothing stopping the DM from completely ignoring the story updates while still using the newer gameplay mechanics. True some work must be done, but if you really like the older version of the setting over the newer, why not? On the player side, one who prefers an older setting version to the newer one, that is more problematic, and decisions will have to be made by the player on what they want to do if a DM is using a different version of events versus their preferred choice. I realize that some would like a setting to simply be fleshed out to greater detail, but not all DM's and very few players may ever buy a region specific locale book. I stopped playing FR 3.5 when Eberron arrived, as it's my preferred setting, but I believe there were a rather large number of region books produced for 3.5 FR. And heck while I picked up pretty much all the Eberron books, I'm pretty sure there were many out there that didn't as it wasn't their setting of choice. Maybe I'll never understand that point of view for a hobby that is primarily made of up creative/imaginative thinkers. In regards to the Sundering, I'm looking forward to it, I may not play much in FR, or read too many if any of the novels anymore, but I still like to follow it. I'll be curious to see if a major reset button is hit, or perhaps, they will completely bring back Abeir-Toril into the limelight of the FR setting, splitting them apart again, but permanently tying the two together via portals and so forth... As for mechanics, I'm betting on it being done in the style of the upcoming Encounters, 4e, with 5e updates if they do actual Encounters/ Lair Assault events. If there is a hardback book, I'd have to believe it'll be fairly neutral, edition wise, so that any generation of player can enjoy it, perhaps with full online support. At least that's my wish spell for the year... [/QUOTE]
