D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

Nerd Initiative on YouTube previewed the new Forgotten Realms books with Mackenzie De Armas in this short video, including a quick flip-through of the Adventures in Faerun book.



During the quick flip-through, he shows off blurry but mostly readable pages from the Dalelands section of the book, including a few of the DMG-style adventures, including a level 13 adventure called Heart of Fire, where the party is asked to recover a magic item in an Adult Red Dragon's hoard.

Notably, none of the adventures you can see in the video seem to have any new monsters from the book included. Also, not all of the adventures are confined to a single page. Some seem to be at least a page and a half, while others are even smaller to just a half page.

They destroyed Tymanther. Told ya. My sixth sense never fails when is something I know I won't like...

I choose to live in a timeline where Tymanther still exists. And the Kingdom of Many Arrows, for that matter.

Djerad Thymar is still there as an independent dragonborn city-state/fortress. Unther has conquered the rest, but it's not entirely gone.

I don't see this as something different...

Perhaps, when I feel less... Betrayed, I may choose that, now. For now, I'm thinking about dropping Forgotten Realms for good, lol. I have a 14 years old semi-ongoing campaign there, but like, I lost the interest, lol

Apparently the Syl-Pasha/Sultana of Calimshan fought a civil war with an army of Dragonborn mercenaries, so the new magitech genie ruled Calimshan could also be a population center for Dragonborn now that Tymanther is reduced.

A new orc king is re-building Many Arrows.

I find this utterly baffling that someone would drop a 14 year old campaign because of any action of Wizards. Why not simply ignore the books and stuff WotC publishes that one dislikes and continue along your original lines.

How about one where the Time of Troubles never happened, nor the Spellplague, nor the Sundering, but Many-Arrows and Dragonborn city-states are a thing?

Heck, TSR and WotC have been trying to wreck the Forgotten Realms since 1990: just treat the books as a cafeteria of options, or a Lego set of pieces.

Yup, in my canon the Kingdom of Many Arrows never fell.
