Message: <blockquote data-quote="GregoryOatmeal" data-source="post: 5674470" data-attributes="member: 6667661">I quit 4E but was very happy to pick up the Dark Sun books. I also got MM3 before I quit - very cool book. All sorts of ideas from 4E creep into my C&C game from those books. I still may get Demonomicon and The Plane Above. WOTC makes really cool materials I consider buying for a system I'm not into.I was hoping the annual campaign would be a revival of one of the old settings or something totally new. I looked at the previews and just couldn't get into Neverwinter. I asked people to explain the appeal to me and I still don't "get" the allure of Neverwinter. I played the original game and don't recall anything about the setting. I played the Neverwinter gameday and an Encounter session and neither left a mark. So no, I haven't read the book but I gave it a chance. It seems like WOTC/TSR printed a half dozen or so books like this yearly for the various regions of FR/DL/Eberron in 2E/3E and hardly thought twice about it. For example this [ame="http://www.amazon.com/City-Splendors-Waterdeep-Roleplaying-Supplement/dp/0786936932/ref=pd_sim_b_7"]Amazon.com: City of Splendors: Waterdeep (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying, Forgotten Realms Supplement) (9780786936939): Eric L. Boyd: Books[/ame] book links to 20 whole 3/3.5 FR books. To me it resembles the Neverwinter book (City setting, prestige class/themes, feats, etc.) and it totally flew under my radar. Now the city book with plot hooks and NPCs and player options is this big iconic flagship brand and it just seems to lack a really compelling idea.</blockquote>
