Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 5774724" data-attributes="member: 2012">I foresee a core campaign setting book (or boxed set) that allows for all eras of play for the Realms. Think like the 3E Dragonlance setting book but bigger and bolder.The Forgotten Realms has become an iconic setting, and it isn't hard to imagine FR fans going ga-ga over a newly revised set that allows them to pick the timeline they want their campaign to be set in.In a revised FR set I could see the following:• A solid, durable box. Don't ever use the material from those flimsy 4E boxes ever again. Make the boxes durable. Use the design ideas you used for the D&D board game boxes. Make this FR boxed set a must have for all FR fans!• DM's Sourcebook: Campaign design for any era and a Who's Who of the Realms. Includes a comprehensive Gazetteer of the world including an appendix for the various sub-settings.• Player's Guide: All the iconic character options for the Realms. You know what they are. Don't skimp.• History of the Realms: Like the hardcover they did, but designed more for the game and less for the coffee table.• Monster Guide: A detailed listing of the appropriate monsters from the Monster Manual/Vault and any "required" monsters not already detailed. Since I'm making this a box, I'd add in monster tokens for the new monsters. Tokens are cool!• An introductory adventure.• Maps: Four full-sized maps that shows the classic vision of the setting. If people want to play in the post-Spellplague era, theyshould hang on to their 4E hardcover. The maps should be double-sided, however. On the other side, include maps of the most iconic cities or regions (Baldur's Gate, Shadowdale, Thay, Watedeep) Have more maps embedded throughout the DM's book with two key maps on the inside covers.• An extra piece of coolness. Something that makes the box really worth the price it's going to cost. A CD, perhaps, that includes some of the best classic realms products on it as PDFs. Or a collectible art card like what was done with the D&D Silver Anniversary boxed set. Just don't fill the extra space with treasure cards.</blockquote>
