[QUOTE="Neowolf, post: 16129, member: 673"] Oddly enough, my problem with FR is that it's a bit [I]too[/I] well defined for my tastes. I prefer a world that isn't set in stone and that doesn't have dozens of books written about it. I'll be honest: I'm not extremely familiar with the literature associated with FR. Sure, I read the first Drizzt novel (and frankly didn't see what the big deal was), but other than that... It also didn't help that one of my players knew more about the setting than I did, and was more than willing to break in during a game and say, "No, that's not right. According to <insert title of a book I've never heard of here>, this is such and such..." Granted, that's a side effect of the setting being so popular, but I don't dislike things just for their popularity. My other problem with the FR setting itself was that it was just a little too...classical is the closest word I can come up with. It doesn't have much that dozens of other medieval fantasy settings (I'm not just referring to D&D, I mean in general) don't have. All that being said, I can appreciate how much work has gone into FR, and I applaud its creators for their work. No offense to those who like FR, but I've pretty much decided it isn't for me. I need a little more room to breathe as a DM. [/QUOTE]
