Message: <blockquote data-quote="Riley37" data-source="post: 6586524" data-attributes="member: 6786839">I took over as DM of a campaign set in Faerun. I have been learning the basics of the setting, have read a book or two so far, but there is SO much that I don't yet know, and that seems likely to remain true for several more weeks.Meanwhile, specific questions arise. For example, one of my players is running a Ranger who wants to find out the origin of owlbears, because that affects his moral position: exterminate the un-natural monsters, or preserve them along with other equivalent predators, or something else. The MM gives a few ideas, but the exact origin is a setting-specific question. (Was it an insane wizard? Not if your setting doesn't include wizards! Were they made by the gods? Not if your setting doesn't include gods! Was it a wizard and a druid at a "furry" convention? Not if your setting doesn't include furries!)So how can I quickly research specific questions? Are you, dear reader, available for answering specific questions now and then by direct message? Is there an appropriate forum, which would serve as the Visitors Bureau of Faerun, answering questions for a person like me who *intends* to read lots of Faerun books, but has *not done so yet*? Yes, I know there's a wiki; thank you; I have questions which the wiki does not quickly answer.PS to Mods: OP intent is NOT a debate over whether Faerun is the best setting, the worst setting, or something else. Insofar as an OP request carries any weight, please discourage that sort of derail. Thanks!</blockquote>
