You can't have a good campaign setting if you don't know that the next town your coming into has approximately 12,745 people living in it, of which 60% are Human, 20% are Elf, 15% are Halfling, and 5% are Misc.
Consequently, I've searched everywhere, and I can't find the Misc race. I don't see it in the Index or TOC. Can someone help me? Is it in the next FR supplement?
And bagging on annual rainfall research for a territory is just wrong! I really need to know how the meteorology works in a land where a vast desert can exist directly next to an even-more-vast glacier. It's not like I can make it up all willy-nilly, I really need to use the brains that mastercrafted this perfect environment to do it for me.
After all, it is a precision instrument to be used by a careful and calculating GM to know exactly what the environment entails, so if I have to make it rain for 3 days, I can state "This sort of rainfall doesn't occur in this region too often" and have all the book keeping there to back up my statement, should the players inquire about my references about the weather, a very useful and discussionworthy topic.
Kidding and massive run on sentences aside, I completely agree with you both. On the other hand, I may have just wasted 20 seconds to 1 minute of your life. Sorry!
