Yeah - love that setting already. FR, Planescape and DS are all of equal interest to me... -Zarrock

I agree. The 3E Psionic rules - even in their original form - are the best that have been made so far (of course 1E and 2E psionics were far below par). I use the fixes in ITCK, the Mind's Eye and I plan to use the upcoming Mindscape supplement by Bruce as well. And true - Psionics are a great...

I liked what I heard about the two first books and I love dwarves - would be interesting to see such a review indeed... -Zarrock

I'm surprised by the lack of fuss surrounding these books as well. I love Lords of Darkness - I think the format it uses to describe organisations is THE BEST format yet and hope they'll carry the style over into other books. As for Magic of Faerûn - I think it's the best magical supplement I...

Not quite - but close ;-). The FRCS is 320 pages (and has a smaller font) .... -Zarrock

I voted for Planescape but the FR gets my vote as well (if that was possible). I miss Planescape but think FR is the greatest setting around if for nothing else than the fantastic FRCS - the epitomal design of a Campaign Setting book IMO. I started playing FR back in the grey boxed set days...

There's another thread on sth similar right below this somewhere I believe (Death priest seeking... .- or sth. like that). Anyway, Relics and Rituals, Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers and Tome and Blood all have nice necromancer prestige classes. IN addition, you could check out Mongoose...

BUMP! Lizard lips - there's no need for you to repeat the exact same post to the first page. Have the moderators moderate your recent one! -Zarrock

There are many. Let me list them by product for you: Necromancy: Beyond the Grave (Deathseeker) Necrophage (Spectral Loremaster) Relics and Rituals (Sword and Sorcery) Crypt Lord Scarred Lands: Hollowfaust - City of Necromancers Animator Speaker of the Dead Tome and Blood (Wizards of the...

I think the format they have now is the best they ever had. Hope they'll keep it virtually unchanged for as long as possible. -Zarrock

I'm sure that - over the years - most of the main regions of Faerûn will eventually be covered by regional supplements. Personally, I'd like to see more on my favourite regions: The Dragoncoast, Chondath/Sespech and Westgate. I'll also look forward for an update on Amn, Tethyr and Calimshan as...

The timeline will progress very slowly now compared to in the 2E times AFAIK - so it shouldn't be too much of a bother. You can - of course - always choose to ignore canon as well. Personally, I use a so heavily modified version of the Realms that I have to make a lot of changes to the existing...

The FR power groups don't exactly step on each others toes too much - you'll find plenty of descriptions on this in LoD. The Zhentarim, Iron Throne, Shadow Thieves and Nights Mask - for instance - only operate inside limited geographical areas. Most of them are not even in competition for the...

This wasn't really the topic of the discussion was it? Before we hijack the thread I'll just say that the FR names are generally easy to remember and often have a very cinematic feel. Cormyr, Sembia and Chondath are all good country names that stick to your mind. Waterdeep, Evermeet etc. are...

Re: Re: The Forgotten Realms books I'd like to see. The Lords of Light book is not really the problem in itself. The organisations already exist - even without such a book to detail them and most of the major good NPCs are already in the FRCS. What I'd like to see are the details of their...

I'm a huge fan of the Shades. Their artwork is terrific, their history intriguing (a good way to introduce Netheril in any case) and their power and style admirable. Anauroch has turned much more interesting after their return and the terraforming inside the Empire of Shades opens a new well of...

Yes, happy birthday and thanks for the work you invest in this great site. -Zarrock

Now that WotC have brought us the great FRCS, given us treatment on magic (MaoF), monsters (MooF), villains (LoD), deities (F&P), and soon the first geographical region as well as the rumoured races book, I've been considering what I'd like to see in the future. This is what came to my mind...

That's a simple rebuttal. I tried to point out the problems about your complaints and where I think the objectivity fails. A topic discussed without objectivity and without opposing point-of-view is very unlikely to lend a useful outcome. The only useful point of discussing something is to reach...

You guys should check out more info on NanoTech. If immortality interests you, you'll find the prospects fascinating (even those that lie within our lifetime). I also recommend the novel "The First Immortal" by John L. Halperin - a magnificant piece of literature. -Zarrock
