[QUOTE="praetorian, post: 16918, member: 1385"] I think the whole thing about FR is your style of gaming. I know people don't like that NPCs seem to control all the epic level events, and some DMs hate how much info there is and players who exploit it. However, I personally don't like epic gaming that much. When you think about it, most adventurers don't live to see level 3-5 let alone level 15+. For me having character die, and to humbly fight of non-continent shattering events is better than standing toe to toe with the greatest evils ever imagined. Also along the lines of the vast amount of FR information, I think DMs NEED to choose what they want, what sources to use, and what to ignore. FR in my mind is a solid setting that allows a DM to focus on plot rather than world building. I think too many DMs look at FR and say: 'wow if I change anything or screw up on some detail everything will be ruined!' Rather I think you take however much you want of the setting, and make the rest yourself. I know I could never make a setting as detailed as FR, but I can use FR as a base for making a great campaign as long as I make it MY game, and MY world, and don't let the players or WoTC dictate to me how it must be done.
