[QUOTE="Nisarg, post: 2116198, member: 19893"] Its not the exact same thing, because I'm not advocating that the actual play in Eberron should in any way not be fun. I'm saying that if they bothered to go halfway to making such an effort they should have gone all the way. Of course, if a setting tries to be completely socially/technologically realistic, but advocates that you run it in a boring way, that's just as bad or worse as doing it half-assed but at least advocating that you run it fun. That gets to the core of the difference with the FR setting, and why the FR setting, while not being my cup of tea, also isn't as bothersome to me. The FR makes no effort at all in this department, and I can live with that. Its a case where doing it half-assed is worse than not doing it at all. Its like the difference between a "historical" movie that clearly has nothing to with history and a "historical" movie that purports to be an accurate representation of history but isn't.
