D&D 5E Do you want a Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide?

[Giltonio_Santos]

As I expect it to cover the period post-spellplague, I'm not interested. I'll keep using the grey box and the 3e FRCS for all my Realms needs.

Yes. Do it in any form (pdf, compendium of smaller region books, PoD, etc.) I don't care, just do it. And novels.

Since most of the NPCs are dead, plots are obsolete and other countless things changed since 3E during 4e and THEN the Sundering made those obsolete, for me the "there's the older material" argument is a half-truth at best.

The geography and existing gods is just a part of the setting and everything else is changed and it'd be also good to see where the setting's heading, what are the major events nowadays, and who-does-what.

Any player who started playing D&D after 3rd Edition doesn't have a good Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book (unless they dug up an old one). And none of us have one that covers the world post-sundering. So, there is a place for one.

Personally, I love setting books. I like them more than any other RPG product.

I just wish WotC would tell us wtf has happened since the sundering. And I hope they stop bringing back the NPC's they killed off in 4E.

Isn't 4E FR set hundreds of years after 3E FR anyway?

Most of those characters should be dead

Maaaaagic!

I want it because:
I mostly play in the FR and want/need a complete guide and not only pieces of information in different novels/books. I want to know what's going on without having to make an investigation.
3rd era FRCS was awesome and I could use that kind of book in 5era, SCAG is like a player's handbook and I need more to create a good adventure for my players.
If it goes well we can have hope to see something similar with Dark Sun (or your other favorite setting).
Most ap have place for custom material that could be better done with a good guide/CS.

One hundred years, give or take.

5E is about 110 years after 3E.

 

[Parmandur]

More books like SCAG would be cool, better than an overview book like a FRCS; besides which, I already got a secondhand 3E one, and it works fine with 5E.

Stuff happened.

What stuff in particular you ask? Well, that's the point where getting to make up your own adventures comes into play. YOU & those you play with get to determine what that stuff is.
Here's the starting point, GO....
