I have also run games in the realms form time to time and even played there. But I probably will never do so again for a few reasons.One of my pet peeves is players who spend no in-game resources (skill points or trained skills) on knowledge-skills, but bring every bit of OOC and metagame information they have to the table, and let it spew out their character's mouths. It can be incredibly frustrating to have this happen, especially if you have two of these and they argue points of detail that no one else in the group knows or cares the least about. This is not only FR's problem, of course, but FR has been the most detailed campaign setting for the last dozen or more years. Another reason is, related to the above, unwilling to spend the time or effort to keep up on Realms Lore. I do not want to buy multiple sourcebooks and novels to do this. I prefer a campaign world that does not change every time an author gets an idea in his head about how to make their new novel .. well ... novel (apologies)The final reason is power. The Realms is far more super-powered than most campaign worlds. Chosen, the big E, etc. It is hard to jsutify why low-levels ahve to even step outside their door when multiple high level characters could solve the problem in heartbeats, and perhaps without even getting out of their easy chair.So, of course this is all about me, but that is my view on the realms.</blockquote>
