It was also easier in that a player could simply read the book and know the setting. I loved the supplements as they expanded the world by detailing new areas.When I wasn't playing FR, it was easy enough to mine details from.What drove me away was the TSR machine, throwing book after book. Couple that with novels that were "required" for the metaplot and it was too easy to run into just plain BAD metaplot.I don't mind advancing the world & metaplot, but it should be in small ways rather than breaking the world over and over. I never cared for the opposite approach like some companies have gotten to though, where everything is a toolbox with no feeling of "life" to it. I pay for the convenience of the world, if I'm going to do all the work myself I may as well not buy the book.</blockquote>
