[QUOTE="Barantor, post: 7680064, member: 6778128"] I no longer buy these books. After buying HotDQ and reading friends copies of the other books I have come to the conclusion that they are just too much campaign setting material. I am not a fan of the Forgotten Realms setting, so I don't get much use out of a book whose references are mostly based under the assumption that you are using their 'standard setting'. For those that will inevitably say "Change the setting to yours!" I will say that I did for HotDQ and the Mines of Phandelver, but the amount of effort it took to do that was almost equal to just making my own adventures that are custom to my group, so I ended up going that way. It saddens me that they are not as quick with the OGL or whatever they are going to do and they continue to publish only FR material that goes along with video game sales. I would buy adventures that aren't tied to a specific setting, but not ones where I have to do so much work to change them. [/QUOTE]
