No, I don't want an FRCG. While it is true that I don't like FR, my main reason for taking this position is because I would infinitely prefer getting a new setting instead.

Please add a fourth option

- Yes, but only if it sets out to raise or at least meet the bar set by the golden standard - the 3rd Edition FRCS

Because if "yes" would only give me a light-weight something on the level of the SCAG Realms overview, then my answer would be "no, let's hold off until D&D has a new management team".

Yes, I would like an up to date FR Campaign Guide and no I dont want it to be like the SCAG lite version.

Sure, but it would be nice that once that's done we start getting materials for at least one more officially-supported campaign setting.

 

[Waterbizkit]

Absolutely. I don't understand why WotC is pushing APs when the majority of gamers want something else.

I see what you did there.

And as for my answer, I could take it or leave it. I'm not sure what a new one would give me that I really need.

The biggest problem is the lack of information outside of the Sword Coast. Geographical information can be found in earlier guides, since most changes from 4E were undone, but there is almost nothing about the current political setup and potential adventuring areas (both of which a guide will provide). Additionally, the Realms went from having a glut of interesting/useful NPCs to a blank slate.

While some approve of this setup, since it allows the DM to make up whatever they want, others find this a lot of tedious work. If they wanted to do that much work, they could just design their own setting.

I found the Sundering book series did a good job laying the groundwork for the changes. The only country that was ????? was Sembia. I could see them rising as the new dark merchant power in the region. Otherwise I thought The Sword Coast Adventure Guide did a good job for updates with the Sword Coast.

I still want to see regional guides rather than something that skims over each region to get to realms specific gods, spells, feats, etc. I would want a module focusing on The Dales, or Cormyr, or even Unthor. I have a bunch of softcover 2e books like this and would buy several more in depth books rather than one that just touches a bit on each country. If they can make them for less than $50 that would be great to boot.

I love campaign settings... but I have three copies of that one already.
They just need to publish a PDF updating existing ones, bundled with Print on Demand versions of the 2e or 3e versions of the settings.

Really, for the Realms, once you've read one version of the setting and absorbed the basic details, FR Wiki is much, much more useful

Can I still add options?

I will say that I would concider that a yes, you've already given your caveat so its on the record.

I'd be willing to make that compromise.
