[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 16675, member: 1016"] For me, "hate" would be too strong a word. A lack of interest would be more accuarate, though the same goes for Greyhawk, Kaladamar, and etc. as well. Both are a cosmopolitan, eurocentric, middle age setting and after more than 10 years of gaming, that's something I can homebrew blind folded. Perhaps if I had more money and less time, I would be interested in purchasing such a campaign, but then I would have the option to do so from hundreds of similar products that have been on the market for years as well as the glut of d20 gameworlds that also sell a cosmopolitan, eurocentric, middle age setting. When I've been drawn to a setting, it's been for something with more originality, such as a Dark Sun, Planescape, or Spelljammer. But as we all know the originality of these settings didn't exactly induce market profitabilty. Which on second thought may be the reason why some may pick on FR for it's popularity. I've talked to some who are frustrated that their personal favorites that have had more originality, such as Dark Sun, where ignored by the gaming public while "a dime a dozen settings" such as FR, GW, and RK were gobbled up. If you put yourself in their shoes, you could probably understand where they are coming from. At one time, I was even more frustrated than them, trying to find players who were not only interested in a more unique setting, but were also interested in something other than 2nd ed. Let's just say that I wish 3rd ed. had come out like 5 years earlier. [/QUOTE]
