Some of us really don't care for goliaths, so having more fitting options is nice. Just like some may not care for dragonborn but wouldn't mind playing a 'lizardfolk' character. In any event it won't kill us if the larger types get reorganized.

Wow. PC Police. The rest of us in the Real World have less patience for this soft of thing.

That's the thing. Let the 'big writers' have their quota for the year, but let some other writers' material creep in. There are stories yet to be told, and it's a boring field if we're stuck with just Drizzt and Elminster. Not world-shaking storyline, but worthwhile nonetheless.

Wonder if it was written but then shelved. I recall Elaine Cunningham having some general ideas of how it was going to wrap up (my words, not hers).

My understanding from watching RAS talk in a few videos is that it's more like a 'serial'--you know, you tune in this week, see what Drizzt and the gang are up to. Admittedly the paths are well-trodden and there isn't much new ground left, also it's more apparent where the story shifts due to...

Just ignore the Drizzt bit and create a character that's just iconic for your setting and more interesting. (Yes, throwing Drizzt in there was calculated and 'hammy', so get rid of the pork.) As far as somewhat more interesting believable characters, I'd just as soon 'port Aral Kingslayer (a...

He'll do well as a lore master. Because having someone do the research for you--or actually just knowing the answer straight up--saves time.

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...
