Good job on starting this thread, Hellstrom! I've been meaning to post something like this for awhile now, just haven't done so.
Thanks to all the builders, you should be really proud of yourselves for what you have selflessly created here with this PW. I still remember how impressed I was even a year ago when I compared the real map of Bezantur to the city we played in, how accurate it was. The same is true for the overland travel of Thay and how close it resembles the true Thay. Great attention to detail.
I'd also like to touch on what Thayan brought up about metagaming. I had been collecting a host of knuckles, oozes, beetle bladders and gargoyle skulls and finding the quest givers not interested in giving me a quest or not where they were usually found. I was frustrated at first, but then decided it's just best to relax and come across those quests later(if and/or when). I've even went so far as to just sale them all off until that time comes, there really was no reason for my character to carry them around anyway since it was all ooc knowledge.
I've just been having a great time relearning Thay and thanks to everyone involved for making that happen.
