[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6023453, member: 1210"] ...at least, better games set in the default setting. Which some of us- and, I suspect, [i]most[/i] of us- won't use. Except for those of us that have no interest in running the FR or in having our campaigns conform to FR conceits. Seriously, if 5e has a default setting that is strongly central to the game like you're proposing, even if it's a default setting that I really like, that's two strikes against. If it's a strongly-central default FR, that's FOUR STRIKES before I even see the game. No chance. I homebrew. I will pretty much always homebrew. I have no interest in a campaign setting product that isn't exceptional; the last actual setting book (other than the Dark Sun monster book) that I got was the 3e Eberron setting book. And even though it was great, I've never used anything from it- because I homebrew. If the Realms is tied too strongly to (say) warlocks, racial info, etc. to extricate, I'm pretty much not buying 5e. Yes, this is prejudicial of me. I'm okay with that. I've no interest at all in playing "Forgotten Realms" instead of "Dungeons and Dragons". [/QUOTE]
