Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nai_Calus" data-source="post: 4906354" data-attributes="member: 79670">I don't run or play FR largely because there's too much damned history to keep straight(And large swaths of hugely popular elements I frankly don't give a damn about learning all about). I read novels and some of the setting books and that's about it.I still don't like 4E FR. Nuked some of my favourite things, explicitly killed at least one character I liked, and most of the rest are likely dead due to the time jump. It's the time jump I think, that bothers me so much. The Spellplague would have been an interesting thing to deal with the process or aftermath of, but instead it's so far back in time now that only Elves, oh sorry, Eladrin, are going to remember it. (I don't remember, does 4e FR note anything on Elven/Eladrin lifespans being different in FR, or are they supposed to now only live about 300 years as well, in which case most of Elven history no longer makes sense and hell a lot of the elves alive during the Spellplague are now also going to be dead.) The interesting thing is a hundred years in the past, we have very little information on what *happened* in those years, NPCs people did like are long gone with no idea when or how... 4e FR seems like a place without a history to me right now, rather than one with too much history, and both I find problematic.If I were ever going to run FR, though, yeah, back to the grey box. That's a good read and not so bloated, and you can add to it from later things what you like.</blockquote>
