[QUOTE="JackSmithIV, post: 4690843, member: 74901"] I think the Forgotten Realms issue is a little overplayed. It really comes down to a few very basic things: [LIST=1] [*]Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide for 4th Edition is, by itself, a great product. It is a wonderful setting book that both inspires as GM, and allows him the freedom to build a campaign. [*]If there was no Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting previous to this edition, it would be widely loved, and wouldn't be judged as a poor product because of it's immense differences with a completely different product (yes, I understand that they are for the same setting). [*]Your opinion of the product is going to be almost entirely colored by your previous experience with Forgotten Realms. If you have no previous experience, you're likely to enjoy the product and make good use of it. If you were attached to the lore of the setting for a long period of time before this edition, you are likely to not agree with the changes, which some feel (with legitimacy) throw away everything good about the old setting. [*]It is ok to be upset about the changes. I can empathize with this frustration, and felt much the same way myself. Some people know enough about Forgotten Realms to have a doctorate in Realms lore, and for these people, the Spellplague might as well have actually happened to them. Just because others like the new setting doesn't mean that there's something wrong with your dislike of it. [/LIST] I just hate thread titles talking about how "bad" new Forgotten Realms is. New Forgotten Realms is friggin' awesome! But it's the worse thing in the world if you go in looking for old Forgotten Realms. [EDIT]: Also, 4th Edition Eberron will be awesome. 4th Edition and Eberron are like Peanut Butter and Jelly. And they're not making any major changes, so it'll appease both new and old fans. I've literally planned by FR campaign to end in June. [/QUOTE]
