[QUOTE="Mycanid, post: 3411221, member: 40370"] Hmm ... well I still must disagree with this assessment. I would modify it to many old school players agreeing that a [U]specific[/U] change was poorly done. change=bad is a loaded way to present it. Now while I must admit that I did not like the change over to 2e I did not read the "From the Ashes" supplement until WAY later on ... only a few years ago, in fact. But the assumption that those who did not like the edition changes have a "tainted memory and opinion" with regarding to whether or not they like the From the Ashes supplement is also unfair and rather sweeping, IMO. (Although I think I can understand why you might think that.) (My emphasis on the word most ... not in original post.) Not quite. Read through the thread. There are people in here who were "old schoolers" who liked the supplement and the changes. An earlier post by I'm Cleo seems a little fairer percentage wise in the assessment of the thread thus far. Here it is again: This being quoted, I fall into the category of numbers two and three - I did not like the change in the feel and I did not like the introduction of a metaplot. There is another thing though, related to number three. I dislike it immensely when metaplot elements come from deities, demigods and the like. I prefer the gods to be as peripheral as possible, only coming into the player's realm of experience on a very rare occasion. This is also one of the qualities I dislike that is present percentage wise to a much greater degree in the Forgotten Realms settings ... at least in my experience of them. :) [/QUOTE]
