[QUOTE="d20Gurus.com, post: 16822, member: 814"] Well, I'm running an epic-scale FR campaign, and the PCs are playing an important part. If any of you have read the new Troy Denning Books (Archwizard trilogy), then you would know that most of the Chosen of Mystra have either dissapeared or have gone into hiding. Also, I made the Dark magic Mythal which surrounds Everska impermeable by people who arent touched by the shadow weave, effectively trapping Khelben and Laeral inside. Elminster is in Hell. He will not be coming back any time soon. Vangerdahast is too busy handling the "invasion" of Tilverton to care about what is happening in the north. All in all, most of the major players are tied up in other things, leaving the seemingliny unimportant (yet world shaking) events to the party. All this serves as a backdrop for an epic adventure, and it doesn't destroy the flavor of the realms. For some reason, Realms brings the best out of my group. We see better role playing with the characters they have here than I have in any other setting. I think It has to do with the massive amount of detail given to every aspect of the world. With so much to play off of, it's easy to remain in character. Not to say I do not have my own homebrew worlds that I like better (read my other thread), it is just that Forgotten Realms is the best WotC has to offer now (especially since planescape is dead).
