D&D General Favorite Forgotten Realms products of all time?

Why do I feel like Mike's next big campaign is going to take place in the Forgotten Realms?

The only Forgotten Realms product that I ever bought was Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.

Just not interested in any of the other Forgotten Realms products.

I'm deeply satisfied that the Neverwinter Campaign Book from 4E gets quite a bit of love around here. I love its approach not to focus on "how the tide influences oyster prizes" (as some other poster here commented on another book, I think it was an older Waterdeep one) but enables you to tell a story with its set pieces and descriptions of the local actors. They are intertwined in a strong web of power relations in which you can put your players in and see what they can come up with to mess up the status quo!
Another poster said they are using the book in combination with Lost Mines of Phandelver - and that's exactly what I'm doing too!

4e Neverwinter Campaign Setting. A really great focused and actionable book with inherent player goals, really cool ideas, and a bunch of FR’s best villains in one area.

I thrice the Neverwinter Campaign Book from 4E, great ressource. Apart from the character customisation options (sadly numerous), everything in there is useful even if you don't play 4E.

I'm thinking about making this the center of act two in phandelver and below, instead of the inane stuff if the current product.

Adventures in Faerun is an amazing book. Easily top five FR book. Just truly useful.

The 3E campaign setting.
Silver Marches
Magic of Faerun

Likely others, I have an extensive collection, some of which is still in the yet-to-read pile, others haven't been cracked open in forever... lol. Yeah- I have a "problem" with Ebay... Having stuff dating back to 1e, I have an extensive collection of maps, too- inc the 4 poster sized ones Dragon Mag gave away years ago.

My upcoming FR campaign (2014 5E rules) will be set in the 3E period or even earlier. NOT a fan of the needless world shaking chaos that comes with every new edition... I (relatively recently) got Unapproachable East, and am strongly considering basing the campaign in Algarond, Rashemen, etc. Might be amusing to introduce the party to a rather annoyed Simbul, if they get too rambunctious, lol.

Faiths and Pantheons is good, too. I love how detailed the gods and religeons are! Some of my personal favorites are: Lurue, Ilmater, Torm, and of course Mystra.

There's a wild published adventure I REALLY want to run- I forget the name tho... The Twilight something or other, perhaps? Centered around a demi plane created by a long gone race of elves to contain/punish an evil elf. PC's are investigating a series of disappearances, when they stumble upon a circle of standing stones- that transports them there.

You're thinking of the Twilight Tomb.
