I was totally thinking 1980's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0935696237" target="_blank">Greyhawk folio</a>, which frankly covers far too much area for its size IMO. And then bind a few together maybe, if absolutely necessary.Actually, that's exactly what I mean by an overarching Forgotten Realms book. It's the book you point all the novel readers, videogame players, and endless canon lovers to because it is slathered 10 layers high with the most in-your-face detail from the most popular and most loved media elements for FR. Yes, technically it should be functional as an overarching book for piecing the smaller books together and still have some overview for sites not as of yet given a treatment, but this is all about the benjamins (as they say). Soak the non-player audience and lovers of vast detail with quotes from the books, pictures from the videogames, full NPC statblocks of the most amazing NPCs the setting has to offer. Don't think, "how could any DM run this?" Make this for the fanboys and go all out.Your advice about recent events, adventure hooks, and all the other needed elements from a campaign setting I would put in the other books. The setting is too big as it is. But has amazing potential still. 10-12,000 words of text is more than enough for adventure detail and not too much for DMs to prepare from.  ...besides, I'm a big believer that adventures are still needed even with a campaign setting.</blockquote>
