I'd settle for some PDF-only purchases but yes, definitely, a new setting book would be nice. (And yes, I have a boat load of old FR materials.)

That would be a great idea. I've seen where they (WotC) has contracted out in order to get products handled, nonetheless they seem disinclined to do so for anything more than adventures at this point. They're keeping core settings, etc., tight and in-house. It's like with FR novels. I'd love to...

I think the main point was to write a d@mn good book, if they do it at all. And their design team is smaller than it used to be, so they have to pick their projects carefully. So I hope they indeed have a book in the works. The novels only go so far with 'updating' the Realms, and I'm a bit done...

Are you.....kidding? Holy...you have it bass ackwards. Actually, YES, as a customer, it is. If I have a need (or 'want'), it's something I'm willing to pay for if *I* see it is being provided. The main quibble I have is in the 'flow' to get from point A to point B and finally point C. It is a...

It's not silly, because gamers have various needs and some people *really* want a program that is good at one or two things. In my case I have a lot of characters--PCs and NCPs--and I want something that looks good, does *not* require me to keep opening up windows in order to do X Y and Z. I...

I'd love to have see them bring back the original maps with the original scale...a print version is fine but i'd definitely love having a digital version. Just imagine having an atlas that had the various revisions at your hands, and digitally choose which parts you like. And yes, I do have the...

I should've done that. I went with the $3.99/month subscription and the $50 PHB core pack. Then I would've had a chance to try the layout and decide if it was worth it. As it stands, I don't care for the layout. Going back and forth to add....ehhh. I think there's a market for this *and* for a...

Well....I went for a basic subscription and bought the D&D PHB core pack. I will say straight up, I'm a stickler about character creation. I'm not looking to play in a group via a server, my interest was more into seeing how easy it is to create a character and store it. I'm sure it's a great...

Then it's an issue of mindset, by the sound of it. In previous editions, the way things were published, one could almost be forgiven for thinking the Elminsters, Seven Sisters, et al, were completely running the show and your characters--at best--were low level nobodies who, at best, might get...

Yep, WotC saw an issue. Non-FR players had an issue regarding the overabundance of material and Canon experts. They felt the entry cost was too high, etc., so why bother. And WotC's response was to blow the whole place up. They wanted Realms gamers to grow in number (and buy stuff), so they...

The old Grey box is still my favorite. Sure, a lot of places received small blurbs but it was a start. And the paper...that fake scroll paper look. Loved it. Y'know, I'll settle for fewer--but better quality--FR products. If it takes them a little longer, so be it. And more non-Drizzt novels...

December's not the month that information gets doled out. As with most businesses it's vacation time, people are gone, etc. You'll hear something more along the lines of late January/early February. The first and last months of the year are slowest for stuff like this. In the meantime, stay...

1) When it first came out, the Forgotten Realms had a certain depth that I hadn't seen before. Very organic, not (too) haphazard. It had been worked on polished smooth before getting picked up by TSR. Sometimes the information provided was in overload mode (seriously how many paragraphs on...

I have to think WotC is being judicious by not saying anything at this point. Not everything we want to see in print is viable/justifiable at this stage. Likewise I'm sure someone higher up has their own concerns on providing content online for free. (Producing online content for...

Thanks, Irennan. It's worth reading the writer's own words sometimes.

Honestly, I don't mind the time jump. Doesn't bother me. I can tolerate the Shar-killing-Mystra-and-now-She's-back bit, etc. I can bring back what I want, more or less, even keep a select few 4E things, albeit not many (a few land nodes, spell motes, or whatever they're called). All the previous...

A fluff book is fine. I'm well past the point where I absolutely had to have the 'official' (whatever that meant) stats for Larloch or whoever. The old model of handling things is done. WotC is going to release materials when they can but in a way that it doesn't kill the business model. I think...

Running through all of the comments so far... What do about Halruaa? As far as I'm concerned it's crusade time for Mystrans. Let them go and reclaim the lost cities As for what else happened in the Sundering, umm...The open septic in the Shaar is being (or has been) filled by some magic...

Agreed. Perhaps a book providing a post-Sundering update on the Realms--a 'light update' version--would at least be welcomed. Lord knows I'd pay for newer maps if they got rid of most of the dodgy 4e havoc wrought upon Faerun. As with anything else it comes down to having another story to tell...

I have just uploaded 5E Revised character sheets (originally by ko6ux) to the downloads area. Hello, I really liked the character sheets made by ko6ux. (Great job! Saved us all a lot of work.) As is expected, we all take what's provided and tailor it somewhat to our needs. Here are the revised...
