Hey, all I know is that they advanced the timeline a thousand years forward.Turjan said:No, but I want an overhaul that fits the mood. The Realms are still the Realms, even after all the changes from 2E to 3E. Dark Sun should get a similarly sympathetic treatment. Actually, 3E has lots of tools to make that happen. I'm not against changes in DS; probably I would change even more than most proposals that float around, but not in a way that you could easily integrate the setting into the FR, like it happened in Dragon.
Besides, I don't follow of FR stuff. I still do not allow firearms in my FR game, despite the setting's current timeline.
If you want to revert back to where 2e story material left off, that's okay.
Well, I've expressed my opinion about Spelljammer of old many times, so no need to go there.Turjan said:Right, here we have different opinions. I don't see something outside of D&D just because a few core rules are taken out of the setting and a few specific ones are added. If we take your definition, quite a few of the 2E settings wouldn't be D&D. Neither Spelljammer nor Birthright would meet those conditions (with Birthright, even I have problems), and I suppose it will be similar with other settings that I don't know.
But Birthright? I mean aside from the emphasis in godly bloodlines (particularly how it ties to the political system which attracted to me), what do you have against it?
