All I know is that the same criticism being leveled at the writers of this current material being discussed was the very same criticism that many of them have leveled at the various Triads who were on leader killing sprees themselves. So, more of the same ol' same ol' isn't really rating all that well at its face value on the creativity meter. Simply put, development doesn't require the killing off of the current rulers. Now, development of already existing material does require some change, but then that is just for the benefit of, yet again, rehashing what has already been done in the past. City Of Greyhawk Mk IV anybody? How about acutally developing something *new* for the World of Greyhawk? I know the world has been prolifically detailed down to the last square mile on the maps, but I'm sure that somebody could find something to elaborate on other than the City of Greyhawk. It is worthy of discussion at the very least, but perhaps it's all a bit premature at this point. So, don't anybody take anything too personally. You can't please all of the people all of the time.
We don't have the whole picture just yet, and there is no reason to post any spoilers which could ruin somebody's gaming experience(so nobody should), so we'll just have to wait and see if there will be some more interesting surprises in store at the end of it all that explains the method behind the madness so to speak.
For now I'll just have to blame Talasek the quintessential valiant and selfless paladin. Even in my campagin everybody loves him; even the characters of "questionable conscience". Still, it makes me wonder what could have possibly have caused Turin to want to kill Talasek.
