I sometimes have fun by taking a generic adventure and then thinking up ways how to tie it seamlessly into Realmslore. The great size allows me to throw the party into wildly different settings, from the cold north to a steaming jungle or a dry desert, without troubling the suspension of disbelief too much. The setting also has the honour of holding the greatest superdungeon of all time.I consider the 3E FRCS to be the best setting book I've seen for D20. It really has everything you need to start a campaign in the setting, right down to a starting adventure.I remember my first contacts with Forgotten Realms, so many years ago... The Dark Elf trilogy, the Baldur's Gate game, and the 2E setting box, in that order. All three were excellent, in their own ways. In Dark Elf, Salvatore brought the backstabbing drow society and the Underdark to life in a believable way. Baldur's Gate did the same to the aboveground Realms, and though it wasn't all that faithful to Realmslore, it still ranks among the best computer games I've played.The 2E boxed set, then... I recall how I, all 14 years of age, read it in the bus, and adventure hooks kept jumping off the pages and into my head. It was also fun spotting things referenced in BG and the DE trilogy.And now, I must finish this post... I have an idea about Ghostwalk and Velen...</blockquote>
