| I'm participating in the RPGA / Living Realms games. 4E is enjoyable in its own way (it is a very different beast than the previous editions.) But the new Realms feels like a generic setting. |

| I play and run in 4e. I've taken the changes introduced with this latest edition just like I have with every single major change in the Realms over the years; for what it is. I've never allowed myself to get so enameled with the setting that it compromises my fun and enjoyment of Faerun. I accept that things have changed and that more will change in the future. |

Enameled? How does one get enameled?  |

I was wondering about the "enameled" bit, myself...
Did you mean "enamored?" |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

I assume he did. But that particular typo was too much fun to overlook! |

Long live 1384 and that which came before....!!! |

An interesting sentiment. Unfortunately for me, many of the things that changed about the Realms between 3e and 4e ended up removing many of the things I had fun with and enjoyed. So you can imagine that I ignore most of what 4th Edition's brought.
My own game is frozen around 1374 DR, with several changes (No Elven Crusade, for instance) |
