[QUOTE="Prince of Happiness, post: 1787509, member: 19819"] I actually liked the Gold Boxed set. The Grey Box I liked a bit too. For me, it was the boxed set + "City of Splendors" boxed set + FR16 "The Shining South" + The Forgotten Realms Atlas, I definitely dug, ya dig? I think "Jungles of Chult" came out before the Gold Box, but I loved combining it along with my own version of the Lake of Steam (see, I converted the Slave Lords series to 2E and then set it in the Lake of Steam region), Lapaliiya, and the Shaar. Flavorwise, what I did with it? Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah, I got yer "pulp adventure" right here, buddy. Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs mashed up with the Realmsian version of the infamous Borgia family (transplanted from Amn, as opposed to the Ravenloft version who ruled Borca) ruling the city of Shaarmid. I was a damn proud 18 year old. :D Now things are getting more locked down with more detailed regional sourcebooks, more Nimbral than I can stomach, regional feats which preempt my own cultural creations of my favorite regions, tons of metaplot. It's sad for me, because there was less known about the South, about Chult, that I could add just about whatever I wanted there. These days, often, players have expectations of areas, and when they're not that...well, I hate to disappoint. :( [/QUOTE]
