Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corpsetaker" data-source="post: 7670613" data-attributes="member: 6776548">I would like to go back to the Forgotten Realms discussion.The thing about FR, or any setting for that matter, is that you can make it into whatever you want. Forgotten Realms can be a living breathing world where events take place all over the world that can have ever lasting effects that you get to take part in or read about, or it can be whatever you make of it. Unless you are running a game that involves the entire world, you don't have to worry about what Storm is doing over here, or Alustriel, or Elminster. They may not even exist in your games and if you don't like them, why would you keep them around? If you want to stick with running a canon Realms then yes, but if you had that much dislike then you wouldn't run a canon Realms in the first place. All you have to do is pick and area and go with it. You can pick the High Forest and be set from levels 1 through 20. The reason the Realms is used is because it has gotten the most attention from various authors through the years and it has some very iconic characters. The problem right now is the fact that the Realms are being mishandled. What makes that campaign setting special is all the deep and rich lore that encompasses the world. It is not the type of campaign setting you decide to go book lite with because it really defeats the purpose and magic of the setting. They should have created their own generic setting and used these AP's to introduce it bit by bit.</blockquote>
