[QUOTE="MercuryCrash, post: 4852327, member: 84343"] [b]Just a bit of what I've done[/b] I have come across a couple of the cannon lawyers mentioned and really basically made a rumors table in my mind. Kind of the take it with a grain of salt saying. During 3.0 I had really begun to like Forgotten Realms and started collecting everything I could get my hands on to learn more about what the world was about from 2.0 and going into 3.5. I started a campaign that lasted for years. Some of my players had known more about FR than I did in certain areas still and as they brought forth information that they wanted to use I allowed what fit best and supported the over all story of the game. I used certain places in the realms (more than say main cities like Waterdeep) to keep the feeling of being in the realms. At times I would bring in names of main characters to give a bit of icing, in fact the characters met one or two during the game. When a part of the FR wasn't quite flushed out I would create around the basis given and sometimes it would get created as the characters were going through it. I enjoyed looking up as much information in the books and the internet to best put together a great scene/adventure. I stuck to the time line as best as I knew how unless there was 2nd edition info I wanted to put in for the fun of the game or went along best with my over all story. When big events happened in FR through novels or source books we did our best to adapt it into our FR world. Though I have yet to attempt a campaign in 4e, I see the benefits of the reset and I'm a little torn with the history being even farther in the past. [/QUOTE]
