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

[The-Magic-Sword]

No, I still have the 4e version, now I have the SCAG for the part of the realms that actually sees play... I want Wizards to do a new setting, like Dark Sun, Eberron, Dragonlance, or Planescape next. I'm kind of hoping that once they leave the realms they don't spend too much time in one place, giving us a setting book, a hardcover adventure and on to the next setting. I could even live with breaks, for other sorts of things, if we're dragging the life of the edition out that way.

 

[NiClerigo]

Nope, I want Eberron 5e

 

[DEFCON 1]

I already have one. I just scanned and printed the 5E logo and taped it to the front of my 3.0 FRCS. You wouldn't believe how detailed the Realms actually are when you really look at it!

 

[thalmin]

I voted yes, but what I would prefer to see would be a boxed set with maps of the whole world, including Kara-Tur, Al Qadim, Maztica, and everything else. Then the same treatment each for worlds of Greyhawk, Mystara, Eberron, and Athas. Full world treatment has never been done on any of these, as far as I can tell.

 

[Shemeska]

Normally I would say yes, but I haven't enjoyed the setting since the 4e changes.

 

[wedgeski]

Honestly no. I'm running two campaigns in the FR and I don't feel the need for any more detail than is already available between the adventure and SCAG.

I'd rather the time and money went into something else, simple as that.

Answer #1:
No. We already have a lot of FR information out there not just for 5e but ovels and earlier D&D versions and a huge amount on the web. What more is needed?

Answer #2:
No. I've disliked FR for a long time. Specifically because there's so much for it between the reams of realms materials published for the RPG and the novels I don't feel like I can run it without players knowing more than me about some facet or another. And if I don't want to stick to canon, why the heck would I need campaign guide?

Answer #3:
No. SCAG and many of the Adventure Paths have detailed the Forgotten Realms and I'd love to see some of the other wonderful D&D settings get some attention. With the limited resources available to produce, that means that effort on an FR campaign guide would directly be taking time from work on any other setting.

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

No, after I finish up the current campaign I'm getting out of the FR so it wouldn’t' do me any good.

I voted no, i have the pre 4E versions and am not a big fan of Realms. I have all the info i need about the Realms.

I voted no. I personally feel like WotC should actually avoid printing any kind of Campaign Guide that consists mostly of fluff. Between PDF releases of previous edition campaign guides, fan run wikis, and many hardcore fans of old settings already owning the old books... it's really easy to find information about the different settings. Why should I pay money for a book that restates that information just because it has a new logo on it?

Not to mention, a lot of players play in a homebrew setting anyways, making fluff focused campaign guides questionably useful.

Campaign guides just don't really make sense under WotC's current strategy.
