[QUOTE="DongMaster, post: 6484852, member: 16169"] Hi! Old returning gamer who has been lured back by some of my fellow wargamers to play roleplaying games again (some 12 years have passed since I DMed last time, almost 25 years since I sist DMed in Faerun). I were never a big fan of the more modern games like Pathfinder, D&D 3.5-4.0, and so forth but when I was able to get a copy of the new D&D 5 starter set when it was released I knew I was hooked. I preferred to create my own adventures back then, still do, but will buy anything that is released (and read it) including adventures. My semi-noob question for you, seeing there is no Forgotten Realms setting book for 5th (yet), which book version should I get so I have some knowledge of the current version? There are some info in the Hoard and Rise adventures but since they almost feel you should have some knowledge of the realms, I am almost dumb struck where to begin. Should I get some D&D Forgotten Realms books (the parchment ones) or 4th ed. versions? The latter scares me as the Gods I knew (through all the computer games and some old novels like Streams of Silver) are gone and the world is more alien to me than the new 5th ed. version (though I like these new products). One of the players is an avid Helm lover for some reason I might add. 'Elp! Thanks! :) (Or maybe I should wait for a 5th ed. if there will be one released?) [/QUOTE]
