While it's true that not everyone is into that kind of detail, that's what FR fans love about FR.WotC drove away the FR fans in bulk once already. With all their talking about how they want to get the realms fans back with the Sundering, if they go the less details route, they fail again completely to grasp what FR fans want from the FR. Then it's merely another attempt to switch out the FR fanbase with a new fanbase (who likes details light appraoch), but it's not bringing FR fans back in masses During that time the Realms had their heyday. When they tried to loosen it they bombed.What they are trying now has all the signs of another Spellplague debacle written all over it. Aka driving away FR fans by not giving them what they want from the Realms in hope that another (bigger) crowd can be won (this time, since it couldn't last time they tried)For such an approach it would have been better to not use the FR and rather stay with the Greyhawk light of 3e.If you look at FR fanboards, like Candlekeep, almost all of the goodwill the generated with the Sundering and the first few novels has died out since the novel release schedule has slowed to a crawl (3 novels a year where we in the past had 12) and no FR campaign setting or regional sourcebook (not even an announcement that they are going to be released on xx.xx.xxxx)</blockquote>
