Actually, I'd say you're the one being irrational or, at least, (intentionally?) sidestepping the actual conversation.You think 'If you don't like the FR setting, don't use it and make up your own stuff" is the same as "suck it up and learn to live the Realms"?
You are not being rational, so I'm done with you. Good day.
Here's the issue: I want published adventures/paths that are not set in the Realms or so mildly Realms-flavored to be nearly irrelevant. That has two components:
1) I want to use published adventures/paths
2) I do not want to use the Realms
I objected to people being smug about anyone who wanted to use published adventures (i.e. didn't want to make their own) just needing to deal with it and using the Realms.
Your comment was that if I didn't want to use the Realms, I should just roll my own adventures. That is technically not the exact same thing. But, it's the exact same smugness on the other side of the coin.
Which is the point you've either been missing or not actually "somewhat sympathetic" about for quite some time.If that doesn't work for you, I'm somewhat sympathetic, but it doesn't sound like using FR modules is satisfying you either.
