[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 7135204, member: 6788732"] I think it is about scale. You could read through one of the base campaign setting sourcebooks/box sets. You don't need to read through all of the supplements, that's what people are saying. An FR campaign won't be hurt if you only read through SCAG, for example, and even then you could probably skim through some chapters and it would all work out just fine. If you use the map but don't want to use any of the FR lore then you tell your players that from the get go. I can honestly say that I would have no expectations if I was in your game and you told that you were just using the map as a basis for your homebrew game. It really is as simple as telling your players that. In that game, I wouldn't be surprised that there were no masked lords of waterdeep or even that Waterdeep was a fantasy version of Venice. Candlekeep could be known for its candles in your game, all good, I'd have no expectations at all. And you don't have to keep going around in circles, you seem to be arguing far to hard about not wanting to use FR when you could just go "Well, I don't want to use FR, it does nothing for me." and then call it a day. I've already said it before, no one is requiring you to use it, I'd say that you should play something you want to play but presumably, you already are. [/QUOTE]
