[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 7953777, member: 6803643"] In any case, Great Dale is NOT official by any meanse – it was made by vigorous fans of that area, and issued in hardcover release, so that makes it feel more official than it is (same thing with Ulraunt's, which even went so far as to ignore the Raven Queen in their Shadowfell book because at the time they didn't know how/if WotC was going to handle her in the Realms' Shadowfell). The Calimshan guide, however, is semiofficial in the sense that it's a DM's Guild Adept book, which are put up there with Adventurer's League-published content and WotC-published content. This is stuff that WotC has rubberstamped, though they're always welcome to redo something from them (see Xanathar's Lost Notes – the book had iterations on both the Rune Knight Fighter and the Noble Genie Warlock which showed up in Unearthed Arcana over a year later). Moonshaes is not really official in any sense, but it is the best material we have for 5e Moonshae Isles. The softcover was written to go with the CCC-MOON series of Adventure League-compatible titles, which are some of most well-regarded AL-legal titles that aren't part of any official Season's Adventure Path. The Border Kingdoms is semiofficial because it's written by Ed Greenwood, and it has similarly high-quality AL-legal adventures that were written to go with it. I'm excited to see how the expanded version happens. And yeah, the biggest issue with DDB is that it's MOSTLY incompatible with DM's Guild license (somehow they got ALMOST everything by Matt Mercer on there, though). They should cross-publish more. :/ [/QUOTE]
