A few hours ago, I found some FR work I had done shortly before I joined these boards.
*shudders*
Suffice it to say, it was of the *crunch* variety, not the *fluff* variety, and it wasn't even good crunch...
Anyway, I'm creating this to say thank you to all those here-you should know who you are.
You influenced me to do things well, and to care about lore...
Thank you all.
Also, another point of discussion-I think I'm really in the minority on this.
I had the briefest of exposure to 2e D&D-I've been a 3e player since it came out.
I also seem to be in the minority, as I'm part of the new wave of players-but I'm not one given to loads of crunch, and seem to be more influenced by the old way of doing things then the new. As such, I stand at a unique point-I like supplements with crunch-but also the lore-which is probably the reason Magic of Faerun is one of my favorite supplements so far. Any thoughts?

The minority is larger than you think. Remember, I'm one of them too.  |

*raises hand* I'm one of them too!
I am the same way, I just barely got into playing. I think it was right after the 3.5 update came out even  But I got here from the novels which I absolutely love. And remember novels are 100% fluff no crunch at all. So now with the game material not only do I like fluff with my crunch but I like fluff with my fluff as well hehe. |

Indeed, 'tis said that one should never forget their roots (2nd Edition D&D).  The minority is not so small as you think, Arivia. |
The Chosen of Vhaeraun
"Nature is governed by certain immutable rules. By virtue of claw and fang, the lion will always triumph over the goat.Given time, the pounding of the sea will wear away the stone. And when dark elves mingle with the lighter races, the offspring invariably take after the dark parent. It is all much the same. That which is greater shall prevail. Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri. |
