[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6669696, member: 59082"] The two most common starting regions in the Forgotten Realms are the Sword Coast/North and the Dalelands, both of which have tons of material out there. I'd definitely get the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book, the "big white book" from 3E, which is arguably the best campaign sourcebook of any game, any setting - just a must-have for Realms campaigns. Actually, most of the 3E books are pretty good. If you go with the Sword Coast/North, you've got a few options for starting areas: Waterdeep, the Silver Marches, Neverwinter, etc. Depends upon what you want. But there's tons of material out there from 1E on up. If you go with the Dale Lands, there isn't a clear region book but there's lots of information out there - both in the FRCS and the various box sets. I believe the 2E box set had an actual Shadowdale booklet, which you could buy alone on Ebay. You might also want to consider the Volo's Guides. There's one for Waterdeep, the Sword Coast/Baldur's Gate, the Dalelands, the North, etc. But yeah, Dale Lands or Sword Coast/North. The latter probably has more coverage, and of course all the 5E story arcs and the upcoming sourcebook. [/QUOTE]
