[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 4437539, member: 2597"] I think what is happening here is that its a fight between people with a history of playing in the odd places in the realms and people who didn't and stuck to the Sword Coast or the Dalelands. I ran an entire campaign in Thay and the Old Empires because I had read FR 10 and loved it (it had started in the Dalelands, but didn't last long there and eventually we went into the underdark and then the outer planes), I didn't just have a blurb from the 3e FRCS book, I had both [u]Dreams of the Red Wizards[/u] and [u]Old Empires[/u] from 1st/2nd Edition. I had the 1st Edition [u]Oriental Adventures[/u] and the [u]Kara-Tur[/u] boxed set when I wanted to that part of the realms. I had the Al-Qadim book and boxed set. I had read Douglas Niles Maztican Trilogy before I had the Maztica boxed set (which is still available for free on the Wizard's website [url]http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads[/url]) and loved the novels and the boxed set, and I honestly don't understand them throwing away Maztica for Abeir when there is an entire unknown continent to the west of Maztica they could have put it on (and for that matter put Tythmanther and Akundul where the Dragon sea is for all I care). As for culture that should be another thread and I made one: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=239294[/url] Just explain what you think makes a good fantasy culture. [/QUOTE]
