    Agreed.  My Lost Ships is falling appart, but my Practical Planetology
is still in reasonable shape, if that tells you anything :)

    Some do, some don't.  I think the authors wanted to use the big three
settings because that'd give them access to tons of history/NPCs/setting,
but really didn't use it to the fullest.  And they didn't know how to
approach the "ship lifts off of Waterdeep, lands 2 hours later in Shou Lung"
problem that destroyed all need for long traderoutes.
