[QUOTE="Arashi Ravenblade, post: 3678412, member: 15630"] I care alot. See I was going to play in Eberron awhile back with a friend as DM, he decided that there where no gods, none of the organizations existed, no psionics of anykind and basically ruined any interest i had in it. If your going to spend 40 bucks on a book at least play as canon until the players ahve been able to take canon and throw it out the window with their own accomplishments. Sersiouly if you dont like a setting, save the money and make your own. I dont want to play forgotten realms where none of the uber NPC's exist. That would be like playing DC with no Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, or Marvel with no X-men, Avengers or Spiderman. It's easy to ignore them, but for consistancy's sake dont say they dont exist. Do you realize how much can be changed by that person not existing? If you want your official setting to have changes play a few years in adavnce of the official time. That way Elminster can be dead and you dont have to worry about official settings saying he isnt because in their time he is alive. [/QUOTE]
