I would love to see Ed publish expanded notes for all the WotC 5E adventures set in the new, barebone Realms. He could cover additional rumours and plots to help DMs bring the world to life instead of simply running them through the adventure as written. And I would also love to see "Ed's...

I ran a Neverwinter campaign a few years ago where Graz'zt was trying to steal the city of Neverwinter (as well as the island of Snowdown in the Moonshaes and the city of Athkatla in Amn - he wanted three new layers). The plot involved cursed gold mined in the Moonshaes and which, when spent...

Indeed. And that's why I answered your question.

She's one of the best DMs whose games can be found online. She has also acted in some fairly successful shows.

I'm Australian. If I extended the same courtesy to my friends as I extend to strangers they would be worried that we weren't friends anymore.

You're a seriously talented guy - and I want to add a big thanks for continuing to share your work with the rest of us.

Indeed. I've been playing with an arachnophobe since 1984. This was a genuine issue for him so we talked through how I would handle adventures with drow and spiders. Fortunately, he grew out of it... which meant impaling one of his characters with a chwidencha's leg three years ago provoked no...

This can't be salvaged with a few corrections. Re-map!

You're right: The stairs in the tower don't work. It seems it's yet another example of the infamous late-2E non-attention to detail!

It can work in some games but, in my experience (YMMV), once you let silly names and real world names in, the players are far more likely to treat the world as a joke. That breaks verisimilitude making it harder to really enjoy the game and even to commit to the game. If I was running Gamma...

I'm downloading the first episode now. Thanks to the National Fraudband Network, that can take two minutes or it can take two hours. It's the latter right now....

As another Brisvegan, I'm obliged to give this a listen. :)

No stupid, "funny", or real world names.

I disagree. Corporate structures have been a basic part of running corporations for generations. I can remember, for example, the Murdoch family taking great in the time period you mention to ensure that they retained voting control over what is now the global News Corp evil empire. This...

To be fair, it's just not Lorraine Williams who was clearly incompetent: Gary was a lunatic and the Blumes weren't much better. TSR was never well-managed. Of course, Gary blames everyone else but the simple fact is that he brought these people in. Maybe he was simply hiring scapegoats? And the...

D&D fans owe this guy a debt of gratitude for performing the coup de grace on TSR so that D&D, for the first time, could be owned by a company that was (relatively) well run.

Heart surgery? Bloody hell, Ed; all the best! Get well soon so you can keep creating!

I'm furious about this. It's not just that the argument is quite weak but it's the risk it poses to normal fans who like to post things online and take advantage of WotC's rather generous fan site policy. Now he's drawn a line in the sand, WotC is going to have to respond. And they're not known...

There was a 3.xE-era Dragon article that provided a colour map of the lower levels and a few more details. I hope that's used as a source for this product, as well as the stuff from Elder Evils.

Great stuff! It's wonderful to see Ed here and it will be quite handy being able to point new Realms fans to this article so they can understand how the Realms began. Paradoxically, one of the reasons I liked the 4E version of the Realms was that it gave me a chance to get rid of the non-Ed...
