[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9755583, member: 1008"] I've only liked the idea of running games in the Forgotten Realms for less than a year (including a single, solitary session so far, with the second scheduled for this weekend), so I'd say it's a bit early for me to bored or over it. 😏 I am using the 1e boxed set and FR5 Savage Frontier as my primary materials, with Rolemaster as my ruleset. I have zero interest in the current iteration of the Realms, but I've been very pleasantly surprised by what I've found in the Savage Frontier -- it's a magnificent product that provides a framework for a somewhat gritty, high fantasy sandbox in a points of light setting. A big shoutout to [USER=6670763]@Yora[/USER], whose blog and posts here went a long way towards moving me from, "Rolemaster Forgotten Realms could be fun," to, "I need to do this." Edit: To address question five from the OP, while I read some of the novels back in the day (mostly the Icewind Dale stuff), I barely remember any of it. However, one of my players is well versed in the details of those novels and the old Gold Box games set in a similar time period and, even though my campaign isn't going to play much attention to the events portrayed there, they do like the fact they get to play in this world they've known about for decades.
