The similarity in internet FR timelines is simply due to the fact that around 90% of them are copied from the same base source (namely, the "Complete Forgotten Realms Timeline" on my webpage, the basis of which came from two posts to the FR-L List by myself and George Krashos). I've often...

Sorry, not signing. While I do think SKR is a decent designer and writer, I don't feel that his work particularly belongs in, or meshes well with, the Realms. I'm with Paragon: Bring back Steven and Eric!

Its amazing what an overabundance of orcs, dragons, undead, dueling archmages, and (yes) drow will do to bring down the average lifespan. Not to mention property values......:D

Absolutely. I loved the "Current Clack" sections in the old FR products also. The FRCS has them as well, although IMO they are weighted too far towards "adventure hooks" and not enough towards "general world color." EN board member SHARK put it very well a couple of months ago when he wrote (in...

Re: Re: Clangedinn during the Time of Troubles Luddite. :D Which is where he was, no doubt. However, his Realmsian, poor-man's-avatar-pale-imitation-smudged-around-the-edges-watered-down-nowhere-as-good-as-the-Great-Gygaxian-hallowed-be-his-name-original, self was in Ruathym being served up...

Mine, of course. But I don't have any maps. Just history and etc. :D I would also highly recommend John Scott's Virtual Fantasy: Forgotten Realms Index. It is an extremely ambitious project designed to link to and reference all available Realmslore (both published and web-based, "canon" and...

The Faiths and Avatars supplement states; "Priests praying to Tempus...must interpret what they see as an indication of the god's favor and intent. Only the images of dead warriors in visions sent to mortals ever speak the will of the war god directly. Tempus himself only snarls in battle-fury...

Aaron, First off, my apologies. I just discovered that you had already posted the general location of the Tor of Swords/Sword Grotto. I missed it in all the thread-hijacking going on. :D Secondly, the third time, as they say, is the charm. After searching Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast and...

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Probably. But, for the benefit of those among us who do not have the FRIA, could you give geographical markers of where those place names are to be found? It might make it easier to find if I knew just what part of Faerun (and accompanying supplements) I was...

The old DnD comics have been confirmed as canon (the ADnD and Forgotten Realms ones at least) in various 2E sources (see City of Splendors and Lands of Intrigue, among others). Selune's appearance in Waterdeep and her game of cat-and-mouse with Shar have been made canon as well, most notably in...

Two quick thoughts....... 1. Keep your friends close....and if all else fails, replace 'em with a pit fiend.... :D 2. Get him out of town. Cloak and Dagger mentions that Fzoul's "to-do" list includes conquering Reth and Arrabar (either by force or alliance) "within five years" to ensure...

Cloak and Dagger may be 2E, but it is still an excellent product, very much worth picking up if you come across it (even though parts of it have been covered in LOD). Anyhow, from a cursory reading of C&D: In Tarsakh 1369, Fzoul discovers an alliance between the High Imperceptor of Mulmaster...

Vote: Ed Greenwood Write-In Vote(s): Steven Schend, Eric Boyd The three best FR writers/designers (I know, that's not saying much for those who dislike the Realms :p ).

Ooooh, now that's a good one!:D

Re: Re: HEY RICH BAKER! Which was probably the best (and most Realms-specific) of the bunch. I want web supplements, Rich Baker, and I want them now! :D
