[QUOTE="teitan, post: 8722253, member: 3457"] I’m going to preamble with I like Paramandur and 90% of the time I agree with him but this is one area where you won’t be able to win. It’s an agree to disagree kinda situation. FR is the “default” setting but not as heavy as it was before 2019. The adventures aren’t as modular as he likes to push but can be if you’re willing to do the work. Essentially you’re both right but his opinion involves being willing to do the work to make it work rather than it being an actual case of “it is generic/modular enough to fit anywhere”. While Chris Perkins said one thing back in the day, his boss back then was saying another, that they put everything in the Realms and emphasized story because communities were built on stories and shared experiences and the early days of D&D were built on those shared experiences with those stories. That FR was the assumed setting for the adventures but they would provide some guidelines for other settings for DMs to use the materials in other worlds if they wanted. When that guy was no longer the boss is when the attitude changed and FR was no longer the sole focus but the now yearly campaign is still set in FR. The supplements are more generic. They are intended to be generic from the beginning Now the adventures are defaulted to Forgotten Realms because the adventures are also designed for DDAL which IS set in Forgotten Realms. But the rules material and monsters supplements and generic lore, no. [/QUOTE]
