I feel your pain. I tried to remedy things a bit with the Clack in my Neverwinter sourcebook (see my Sig). I've cut and paste a few entries from it here: * The merchant Guthkort Arnhast was found injured and bleeding on the street in front of his mansion in the Protector's Enclave...

I'd love to see something done with Abeir! A lot of missed opportunities there, if you ask me.

Slow day in the brand-new-ideas department, but a few hours of good writing in the updating-the-Cormyr-sourcebook department. If you've never encountered a War Wizard of Cormyr before, particularly in the 4E or 5E era of the Forgotten Realms, then this might be of use to you.

The Homebrewery, for the basics. And two helpful guides, once you've got a handle on things: Formatting Guide Watercoloring in the Homebrewery Hope this helps!

Velahoondelar's Wagontamers Velahoondelar hails from far away Turmish. He spends as much time cleaning his ornate breastplate as he spends on necessities like taking care of his horse, eating, mending and washing his clothes, and taking baths. Every morning he carefully applies two horizontal...

Current Clack: Neverwinter is a DMs Guild resource for Dungeon Masters looking to provide characters with news, rumors and gossip for Neverwinter, the Sword Coast and the Savage North. This booklet includes one year's worth of entries divided by month. The entries cover a range of topics...

Other Worlds that Touch the Realms Countless other worlds touch the Realms, or have been connected to the Realms in the past. Some ideas about one of these worlds follow. 1. A world where the continents float; they bob along like boats in the water, save the water that laps against their...

This book was a great alternative to D&D whenever our group grew tired of playing. It was also one of those rare gaming sourcebooks that was pure fun to read.

Some more ideas for spells and other things. 1. Spell Idea: Avenging Anvil Cleric 5 This spell briefly summons the anvil a foe's metallic weapon was forged on. The anvil appears overhead or some distance in front of the spell's target, then proceeds to fly at the target at top speed...

I get the same feeling, believe it or not. I try to avoid participating in these kinds of discussions when it comes to the Forgotten Realms because, more often than not, people do one or both of the following: 1) They get the history wrong--both for the Realms as a fictional setting, and for...

You can learn something of Stewart's work and influence on the RPG industry by reading the following Designers and Dragons article: link.

No, I believe it is correct. Faiths & Avatars, published in 1996 and thus post-Time of Troubles, formalized for the Realms the rules for how deities gain and lose power, what is and is not precisely known about that process, how mortals view the concept of worship, and a host of other issues...

Got me there. I've always tended to think of 1E as "D&D" and 2E as "AD&D", the better to keep the two editions separate in my mind.

A better word than "ganked" is "borrowed." Even so, when it comes to the Realms it's wiser to not assume a trait shared between the Realms and an older setting like Greyhawk means the Realms borrowed from Greyhawk wholesale, much less in part. Dark Elves, for example. The Dark Elves of the...

That's correct. The ToT was the in-world explanation for all the rules changes going on in the transition from D&D to AD&D.

It is with sadness that I report that yesterday the tabletop gaming industry lost one of its giants: Stewart Wieck, who co-founded White Wolf Game Studio and co-created the World of Darkness, and who more recently helmed Nocturnal Publishing. His brother, Steve Wieck (owner of DTRPG) announced...

True. I'd not realized he was a board member at CCP. I've always enjoyed their flagship MMO (EVE Online).

No, it is not a myth. Not. At. All. The Realms really is a kitchen sink setting. It's certainly gone through phases where elements from other worlds have been deemphasized, but the concept of the Realms being connected to other worlds predates its publication as an official D&D setting. Not...
