The context makes it quite clear that the Forgotten Realms has echos and alternate universes, as is standard for D&D.

Yet the same writer is the one who has advanced the infinite muktivers consistently since then, with the idea of the First World and Echoes that include stuff in the Forgotten Realms.

I see nonreason to take it non-literally, given that 5E has always emphasized D&D as a Multiverse. You can say it is juat a metaphor, but that is juat one interpretation, one I find exceedingly unlikely, especially since that book is written by the same guy wrote Fizban's and the new DMG, James...

Sure, because if being in an alternate universe, within the context of an continued emphasis on a D&D multiverse.

Excellent points, I have a hard time judging how a non-reader might perceive Stormlight at this point, given that I am several million words into the lore now. But the books are not so popular without reason, it goes pretty far out but is also frankly juat kind of cool. I am hopeful my non-book...

It says there are alternate universe of the Forgotten Realms: canon in the era of the First World is more explicitly that of a branching multiverse, so it makes the most sense to read this as literal especially given the context and wording.

So, Brotherwise Games just announced that the physical rewards are going to start shipping shortly, and should be fulfilled over the next ten weeks or so. That .eans Backers should all have their physical goods before this hits retail shelves in late October.

Why interpret it as non-literal, when historically D&D has used BTW ching multiverse stuff, ala Nine Princes of Amber and DC Comics, and co tiniest to do so to this day...? The official FR is part of the branching First World multiverse now, allowing for infinite versions to coexist in the metaplot.

Not really, unless you want yours to. Eberron and FR are both part of the Infinite branching D&D multiverse, in the corr books. Nope, it says a mirror universe, and as established infinite branching universe in what is called a multiverse goes back to the beginning of D&D. Your personal table...

It's in the DMG.

I mean, sounds like a legitimate Realms plot to me, frankly. And Fizban's and the DMG establish the concept of Multiverse echoes, so multiple Elminsters, Tams or Manshoons are certainly on the table. And canon is determined by WotC, they own the Setting. If they go multiverse, which is well...

No evidence against it exists either, but more than that, it is explicitly canon at this point, though it can be easily inferred from 80s canon.

Sure, plenty, from OD&D to the 1E PHB and DMG (both of which use the word multiverse explicitly in the branching timeliness version), and the Grey Box. Seems well established and older than I am, even.

I see no reason to assume that, the Grey Box itself states DMs are expected to make it their own and make any changes they like, which seems precisely in like with a standard D&D branching multiverse assumption. I have seen no statement, anywhere, that would contradict that inference, which has...

The default assumption of D&D since the earliest days is that of a branching multiverse like in classic comics

But the Forgotten Realms is part of the D&D multiverse.

Very possible, another Direct is a real possibility too. Darl Sun seems fairly plausible given the Psionics test and what it was laying down, particularly the hinges at 10 Backgrounds tied to Wild Talents. I would suspect they may wait till after they drop all these products to make any...

I mean, they can be. But the comic book style infinite multiverse has always been in D;D.
