[QUOTE="Thindul the Gnome, post: 265004, member: 3685"] My friend Larry was running a Realms campaign and someone, may have even been me, told him he made a mistake, that was *supposed to be* like this. He said, "I bought this boxed set, I own it, it's mine. It ceased being Ed Greenwood's the moment I purchased it. I will run it however I feel like. If I decide Greyhawk is on the other side of the Spine of the World, then that's what its like." That's the way I have handled my Realms campaign ever since. As for originality. Dark Sun? Original? Have you ever read Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series? Planescape? Victorian England, just add a tiefling named the Artful Dodger. Scarred Lands...Hmm, a great battle of Gods vs Titans. That's been done before. Old news. Reminds me of a young college student that complained Shakespear's Hamlet was just a bunch of cliches tossed together. [/QUOTE]
