Breaking news: New FR six novel series, "The Sundering", with six authors (starting w/ Salvatore, then Paul Kemp, then Erin Evans, then Richard Lee Byers, then Troy Denning, then Ed Greenwood with the closing novel) to transition to 5E. Get ready for another RSE, folks.
Greenwood:"There will be war. Gods & their chosen will take part. So will normal people. Your characters will be a part afterwards."
Salvatore: "Hopefully there will be these wonderful personal stories that make this change in the Realms make sense."
Main characters: Drizzt, Elmunchkin; Frieda the Warlock; Etwas Cale, half shade; Sergeant Kenrick, embittered paladin; and some pirate dude. (Edit: Sorry if I didn't catch the names quite right ... they were speaking quickly and I'm a poor typist.)
