You've done a good job. The Forgotten Realms was a terrible melting pot of nearly every fantasy trope and myth authors could throw at it - it even had egyptians, native americans, celts, arabians, and so on.

Now it feels a bit more coherent and has a style of its own.

only 147 views becasue their marketing sucks. The Forgotten Realms is the greatest fictional world ever created.

@rhunadan87 If he has a wife or G/F, she is one lucky woman!!

@BlackAcebt2 Actually, Bane is the most powerfull evil deity in 4E. Bane enslaved Loviatar, Tiamat, Hruggek, Mablinugyet, Hoar, Abbathor and Szass Tam.

@AtomicJimmyMack Hasbro rocks, 4E rocks you idiot.

[AtomicJimmyMack]

Hasbro whore

[Latexxia]

The Realms endeared for so long because they had a familiarity to it. A complexity. It was not an original setting, but it was a living one. What 4E did was reduce these qualities and present a dumbed down fantasy setting for the video game generation. I cannot express my displeasure enough, and will make my voice with the only thing marketers will hear: My wallet. Not a penny will go to the Realms 4E I saw TSR make this kind of mistake with Dragonlance and correct it. I hope history repeats.

[BlackAcebt2]

A poor man's Bane and a pissweak version of Lolth, heroes? I dont think so.

[Narania234]

@BlackAcebt2 Yes. In their great wisdom WotC and Hasbro killed all fascist degenerates: Mystra, Azuth, Savras, Khelben, Helm, six of seven whores, Tsarra Blackstaff Chaadren, Krehlan BlackstaffArunsun etc. Finally accursed city of neverwinter was destroyed, repulsive Harpers disbanded, Cyric and Shar are heroes of Forgotten Realms, they caused the spellplague and removed mystrean filth.Hooray! Even Dweomerheart was obliterated, thus souls of Mystra worshipers were destroyed.Hooray!

[Narania234]

Mystra is dead. Savras, Azuth, Khelben , six of seven whores are dead. Hooray! Krehlan BlackstaffArunsun, son of repulsive Khelben was killed. hooray! Tsarra Blackstaff Chaadren, Khelben's heir is dead too.Hooray! Accursed Harpers disbanded at last.Hooray! Thank you so much Wizards of the Coast! Thank you so much Hasbro! Cyric an dshar are my favorite evil deities since the Spellplague, the greatest event in history of Forgotten Realms.

[deserk]

The Devs of 4E have killed the gods Mystra, Azuth, Tyr, Helm, Eilistraee, Vhaeraun and Selvetarm (Thanks for destroying all the Drow gods but Lolth, WotC! The Drows really needed to be more generic!). You destroyed the nations of immensely unique nations of Calimshan, Thay, Condath, Halruaa, Dambrath and Luiren. You have erased these pieces of lore with Dragonborn and Genasi out-of-place generic bland shit.

This wasn't an expansion to setting, it was a destruction!

Afaik 4E never happened!
