Forgotten Realms Alternate Dimensions

dazzlerdal · Jun 25, 2014

Just posting to let people know about a new project I have been working on.

Forgotten Realms Alternate Dimensions is a new fan magazine dedicated to becoming a home for people to show off their version of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting as they play it.

If you have any unique ideas on the setting, fan fiction, gods, locations, regions, magic items, NPCs or anything vaguely related to the Forgotten Realms and you want to let other people know about it then this is the place to publish it.

Issue 1 and 2 are available in the download section.

If you want to get an article into the magazine then hop on over to Candlekeep and contact me (dazzlerdal), or leave a message for me here or at the piazza or paizo (all the same username).

Edit
The project has now morphed into a wordpress site where I can more easily catalogue everything about the alternate forgotten realms

Below are links to pages that contain detail (most of which focuses on the Old Empires region at present)

A snippet of one article from issue 4.

This article focuses on the Mulhorandi-Untheric pantheon that were merged together by continuing the development of the Mulhorandi conquest of Unther.

This new much stronger pantheon should be able to better resist the Faerunian pantheon and should now be able to properly contest for worshippers in Chessenta.

I'm proud to announce the addition of Jon Hild's Maztica related articles to the magazine entitled "Welcome to the Jungle", starting off with the pluma and hishna magic schools for 5th edition.

As always if anyone wants to get involved with articles of their own, or proof reading, or artwork, or any other skills they have then I would be glad of the help.

If anyone has any feedback that would also be greatly appreciated. In particular I'm looking for feedback on "The Conquest of Unther Campaign" article as I hope to write more articles for RSE's that until now have been spectator events only. In particular I'm looking for ideas on the layout and content and what information is helpful or not.

If anyone wants to contact me about any of the above then PM me with your email address and we can talk.
