I’m currently making headway on the two new setting guide chapters I’m adding to my trail guide. (I’ve changed the working title of the Semphar chapter to “The Great Silk Road,” since the Forgotten Realms highway called the Silk Road extends well beyond Semphar. The title also pairs well with “The Great Sea.”)Between the Great Sea and the Great Silk Road, I’m including overviews of at least 30 settlements travelers can visit. (The Great Sea chapter currently focuses on the eastern half of that sea. I might add overviews of six additional settlements to cover some of its western reaches, as well.) For the 30 settlements I’ve already selected, I’m nearly finished converting my notes into finished text.Composing all that settlement information has been a bit of a slog. I hadn’t planned on writing any of it until Wizards of the Coast announced its new player’s guide to the Forgotten Realms. With that product on the horizon, the thirty-page setting intro I was having fun writing became redundant. I need to replace it with an equal amount of non-redundant content, so now I write what’s necessary.Back to the grindstone.</blockquote>
