I may retire mine and play a son or daughter of one of my friends chars instead.

The more I read about the 4E realms the more unlikely it is I will follow along after all
I do plan on trying out the 4e rules next month, but I'm not sure what world I will use for that, if any - probably Homebrew.
There has been little if anything to make me want to give up the Realms I love, so we'll linger and play through as we wish.

I try to participate there more, but its kinda wonky (like CK). I use a lot of sites that have a problem 'timing out', but that one eats posts when it does so - very annoying.
Once I am home (I've been captured for 2 weeks!!!), I should have a little something for LK, and then something for the Kara-Tur project.
Sorry for all the delays.
Anyway, even though I no longer have interest in playing in FR, I still love FR, so I will try to finish everything I started.
I'm still wanting to truly start the timeline project but I haven't had much time for it. If you come of course you'll be part of it.
I typed up a really long post about something (I forget), and when I went to hit 'cntrl C', I instead hit 'cntrl V', which erased my entire post! So even when I am trying to outsmart the Gremlins, they get me.
Anyhow, didn't mean to derail your thread Therise, sorry ... carry on.
I have 2 current campaigns set in the Realms. The first is an Avatar campaign and while some of us have classes not coming out in the 4e PHB (a Knight, Rogue/swordsage, and warlock) I think we can alter our player classes to fit the new stuff. I'm going to make the time jump simple by using portals. In the campaign, our characters have fallen to Faerun from Earth via a spellbook bought at a pawn shop and we've been trying to find a portal back. Eventually we'll find a portal but somethings going to go wrong and we're held in stasis for about 100 years while the Spellplague hits. Because of the stasis, the end of the Weave, and warping of the Cosmos our charcters will basically start from scratch in a new Realms.
The second is a Gestalt campaign where the PCs have found a Pool of Radiance in Phlan and from there travel magically to the Ruins of Myth Drannor where they discover a desperate fight between an army of elves and Dalesfolk against an evil army of Fey'ri that have supplanted the forces of the Cult of the Dragon and use the "Pool" to empower their fiendish and infernal allies. From there, I really have no idea how I'm going to incorporate 4e (espically with gestalting) and might just decide to keep the 3.5 format for that campaign.
Spellplague and the big leap forward in years! what does your group intend to do with their current characters?
The group I'm in won't be using the Spellplague or time-jump.
Hey, you asked.
My players are happy with what I run for them twice a month...no reason to change it now...

-Same here. ;)
Once I am home (I've been captured for 2 weeks!!!), I should have a little something for LK, and then something for the Kara-Tur project.
-It's about time.
-On both counts.

My group has unilaterraly agreed to boycot 4th ed. I am considering buying the FR books simply because I've collected all of them so far.
We are currently playing in 1338, and will continue to do so, spellplague be damned.

seems like there is no need to buy the 4e abomination then
As for FR, we will continue to use the 3.5 rules, and I will simply create my own timeline. I've already screwed with it a bit, postponing the Dracorage and several of the events with the City of Shade...
We may, eventually, play FR with the Pathfinder rules...
Down with 4e! If it's based on Saga edition...it sucks.
I could imagine using the 4e Realms, though. The fluff interests me, I'll just need a ruleset to play. I was thinking about Iron Heroes, although True20 has a certain appeal, too.
I'll do nothing with my characters. I'll not use the 4e rules unless I can come up with heavy house-ruling.

thats the exact opposite of me
Man, you guys sound like you have so much fun with this. I would try it but I don't want to buy a DnD book reading it for hours on in trying to comprhend the Dice system. Plus you have to find a DM or something right? How come you people don't create your own world? Why do you live in ED's world? What could be more fun than controling everything yourself so you don't have to worry about 4E sucking? If it were me doing it, I'd have Gundams,Dragons,Nuclear war Heads, Dieties, Teleportation spells, Space Stations. I always hated the idea of Magic limited to middle-aged era. That's why Shannara novels are decent, the story goes into backround of USA and other such countries with high technology and then a massive war and with that set us back to mid-ages from there. And not only does that middle-ages thing upset me, someone in Wizard went as far as to include that electronics do not chemically work in FR world. So with that, it means that the creators fear technology would get out of hand and disrupt the way life. MEANING RED WIZARD, (YES YOU) THAT TECHNOLOGY DOES OUTDO MAGIC. Never, ever, could magic be as descrutive as invention. Pressing a single button from some 300 LB fat buisness man, compared to a 900 year old wizard who constantly practices for all his life. Technology is limitless, magic is limited by AO if you get too powerful. (Example mystria, whatever that magic Godess chick's name was I can't remember)
then why are you here?

That's good. Guess you have figured it all out. No need for further comment.
-RW
then why are you here?
Ok, 20th time now. I..D-O...N-O-T...L-I-K-E...T-H-E...C-A-N-D-L-E...K-E-E-P.
Got it buddy? ;)
-RW
You don't like the Realms either. So the question remains valid. ;)
-RW
Correction, I voice my dislikes more than my likes in the realms.
-RW
No correction needed. If you liked it, you'd learn it. You won't so you don't. Case and point. ;)
-RW
Yeah because I read the FR books just to blow my mind.
-RW
Which they didn't, so again. Validity remains.
-RW
Well it's fun too read FR with the idea that every author has their own character(s) in one world. I just wish they would see each other or interact and the authors didn't suck. I read swordmage, that was just...wow..like, it felt like some book that I was forced to read for English class in highschool. You might as well give the Authors their own world if they won't see each other characters, like, what's the point? Honestly?
Crazy notion.
