Gipsy Danger Ugh! D&D Next's default setting is the Forgotten Realms. I really loathe Faerun and its brokenne - #haqo5u

If the next edition is suppose to be modular WOTC should provide guides to world building and not focus on a already developed setting.

2012-09-16T20:13:53.000Z

It seems like WOTC intends to tie it up their "new" story lore called "The Sundering" from FR novel authors like Greenwood and Salvatore.

2012-09-16T21:48:57.000Z

Marketing decision here. The rule system won't be Faerun-influenced.

Plus... it's not like they have another setting that's popular enough to be made into their default setting.

2012-09-16T23:08:45.000Z

True. Though I'd prefer to see Dragonlance/Krynn revitalized over FR. If "The Sundering" novel does put the FR setting in a clean slate...

2012-09-16T23:19:39.000Z

it might be worth looking into it again. Here's hoping it won't be just another Time of Troubles. The only character I'll miss is Drizzt.

drizzt can STUFF IT /bittersaoverexposure

jylichan: Just curious, why the hate for the Drow Ranger? I personally despise Elminster on my end though.

2012-09-17T01:22:19.000Z

given na yung elminster hate, actually

2012-09-17T01:22:34.000Z

although same lang yung reason for me. overexposed na sila pareho.

2012-09-17T01:30:25.000Z

jylichan: Yeah. I've long grew tired of FR signature characters always stealing the limelight and determine Faerun's fate.

2012-09-17T01:30:47.000Z

Not to mention FR gods suck donkey.

2012-09-17T01:35:13.000Z

Gods in general suck donkey.

"We'll go away for a while so you heroes have something to do brb."

2012-09-17T02:21:48.000Z

You realize if they didn't do that, there wouldn't be a game?

2012-09-17T02:22:27.000Z

I knows. I'm just looking at it from a cynical hero's perspective. Mga level 11-ish siguro.

2012-09-17T02:24:30.000Z

Said cynical hero would be better off becoming the barkeep of his own tavern. Classic ornery jaded ex-adventurer.

2012-09-17T02:24:36.000Z

2012-09-17T02:24:58.000Z

Yung nang-iinis sa mga adventurers when the come asking for rumors.

2012-09-17T02:30:11.000Z

Or worse, ex-adventurer ends up as a town/city guard and bitches that was once like you til he got an arrow to the knee.

2012-09-17T02:36:55.000Z

It's DnD. An arrow to the knee will never stop ANYONE.

2012-09-17T02:37:27.000Z

This is the game that pioneered overpowered healing magic, after all.

doesn't mind FR. Hmm, maybe me and Bryan can start a campaign here in Cebu.

2012-09-17T02:49:22.000Z

Shizen: You know some RP gamers in Cebu? I didn't think they were many outside Manila.

2012-09-17T02:52:09.000Z

If WOTC completely removes all those trademark signature characters and replaces the FR pantheon with competent gods...

2012-09-17T02:52:22.000Z

then I'll give it a shot.

2012-09-17T03:17:51.000Z

"Oh. Takhisis is scheming to rule Krynn. This is news how?"

2012-09-17T03:24:47.000Z

Krynn jumped the shark decades ago when they aged the Heroes of the Lance prematurely and ruined them.

try to find a gaming group here.

2012-09-17T10:39:57.000Z

DeathKoala: Yeah. They were the once that were keeping the whole setting interesting. A shame it ended the way it did. Was it the fault...

2012-09-17T10:41:43.000Z

of the Hickmans or the third party authors? I can't recall. I suppose it doesn't really matter now.

2012-09-17T13:08:02.000Z

It's the fault of TSR, and then later Wizards for propagating the nonsense.

2012-09-17T13:08:36.000Z

Unlike the rest of their works, Weis and Hickman were writing in a setting that didn't belong to them, so they were forced to use...
