[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9279182, member: 2209"] It was recently pointed out that the Forgotten Realms map has changed geographically in size in different editions with the size of nations growing and shrinking and the distance between cities and such changing somewhat dramatically. I am a moderate fan of the realms but mostly for the god elements and factions like the Harpers and Red Wizards and such and having read maybe a dozen FR novels and played in a few games set in the Realms. My main two general big setting sourcebooks I owned in print at their time periods and that I am somewhat familiar with are the [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/16797/forgotten-realms-adventures-2e?affiliate_id=17596']2e Forgotten Realms Adventures[/URL] and the [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/28729/forgotten-realms-campaign-setting-3e?affiliate_id=17596']3e Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting[/URL]. The FRA does not have big maps and I rarely check out the scale of RPG maps anyway so I was not really aware of any changes in size. I mostly have not kept up with 4e and 5e Realms so I only loosely know about the 4e 100-year timeline advancement, realms shaking spellplague and god shakeup stuff, and pulling in another planet for rejiggering the land masses, and the 5e reset. Can anyone point out the size changes and when they happened? Also how much these were explained in sources as in-game things as opposed to just map discrepancies in different sources? [/QUOTE]
