I was thinking of going down to my FLGS and picking up a copy, does anyone have it?  Any opinions?

Thanks, Josh

I too would like to know what some people think of it.  Wanna see if it is worth adding to go along with my core books (and probably some other purchases in the future grin )

I already ordered it from Amazon.

I am going to have a tough time getting some old FR fans to play the new version, but I will try.

Hi guys, I just picked it up today at my FLGS. I’ve only had a chance to skim thru it a few times… but so far I’ve found it to be a very interesting read, and I’m not regretting a penny I spent on it wink .

I can’t wait for the Players Guide.

I personally am an Eberron DM, but still am having a hard time resisting this purchase. Maybe if I wait until the Adventurer’s Vault I will satisfy that urge.

Ha ha I think i know what you mean Talae.  That shiny new book is almost calling out to me grin

But at least your getting to play, I am about to go nuts here.  The PbP is taking forever to get started and I won’t have a chance to even start looking for a F2F group for another week or two b/c of the move to college and having to get settled in.  Oh woe is me downer

I am tempted by the FRCG as well, since I’ve played in and been running FR for some time, but in my own games I only use FR so that I don’t have to draw my own maps and can occasionally steal plot hooks.  With 4th edition I am trying to go the custom route and build my own world from the ground up, so I think the only setting books I will buy are the player guides to get the extra feats, powers, etc.

From what i read up to now its good, but not that good. I feel a bit lost in all those change, i know they tryed to explain the magic system change and the eladrin/elf coming back. But the new setting almost remind me Rift. I am not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic setting, and this is mostly it. They got rid of the huge partheon but i dont think its for the best i liked the fact that there was alot of gods.

I will make a good read of it, i just got it last night and i had a raid in wow so i couldnt read much of it, so i will see.
