I mean, they're right in the 3rd edition setting core book! Actually, having read the FRCG myself I have to say they changed less stuff than I was expecting.

There's no better way to really get familiar with a book than to index it...I certainly know the PHB better than I would have! :) Not a problem Ishmayl.

The ToC seemed alright to me, I don't demand an amazingly detailed Table of Contents as long as the index is good in a book. Now it's on to the Forgotten Realms! :) Thanks Barasawa!

I've told my players that they definitely want to print their own out. (For the those that don't have printers, I volunteer one copy, after that their on their own.) I'll agree that their index and ToC were lacking, at least they aren't the waste of page that WhiteWolf prints... (Yes, that was page as in singular. And yes, it is a dig at them...) Later, and Thanks again! Prop, that’s a natural 20 of an index!

The actual Gameplay rules are fairly simple, once that is out of the way, well curiosity will often get the cat...
