[FR] Which region would you most like to see a suppliment book for?

[nHammer]

Cormyr please.

 

[Simulacrum]

I dont want to piss in here but the western heartlands are so overdone and became so boring...please no more middle age western european cliche sword and sorcery PLEASE!
If they did cormyr next then comit half of the book to anauroch and the shade...that would be kinda cool.
Geeez I'm so happy they got rid of Azoun4 and Vanderaghast.

Also I dont think that Zakhara/Karatur should be done into a seperate setting again. I think its time that all FR settings grow TOGETHER to a single STRONGER and more COLORFUL setting!

I assume you're referring to the end of The Siege here yes? Vangerdahast is wounded then, and does seem somewhat mad, but his final fate is somewhat nebulous. As far as I read, he wasn't mentioned at all in The Sorcerer.

Also I dont think that Zakhara/Karatur should be done into a seperate setting again. I think its time that all FR settings grow TOGETHER to a single STRONGER and more COLORFUL setting!

An intuiging idea, one I've thought of myself. Probably the most likely way we'd see one of those other places again is under the Forgotten Realms banner, since then its an expansion to a campaign, complimenting it, instead of a whole new campaign, which runs counter to WotC's strategy.

However, it seems likely, IMHO, that this'd result in a bit too much of a Faerun-centric look on everything from them trying too hard to tie it in with "mainstream" FR stuff. Perhaps such a compromise is what it'd take though to get those places back. Maztica certainly, with the atmosphere of colonialism that is present from expedition Faerunian forces, would work well that way, I think.

Dale lands... I mean heart lands. Old empires too seem intersting

I voted for the Western Heartlands, which to my knowledge *hasn't* really been covered, even in 2e (other than Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast).

It has. The Western Heartlands have been extensively covered in the FRCS, Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast, and the 2e Campaign Setting, among others. These books have multiple sections and paragraphs covering every named area within the Western Heartlands.
While I'm at it (when I mention FRCS, it means that the FRCS gives a good deal of coverage to that area, compared to other areas like Nimbral and Lantan):
Cormyr - FRCS, Cormyr Accessory, Volo's Guide to Cormyr, 2e Campaign Setting.
Dalelands - FRCS, Dalelands Accessory, Volo's Guide to the Dalelands, 2e Campaign Setting.
Waterdeep - FR1 Waterdeep and the North, City System box, Volo's Guide to Waterdeep, City of Splendors.
The North - FR5 Savage Frontier, Volo's Guide to the North, The North box, Silver Marches.

I would like other areas of Faerun (the untouched areas) detailed before any of the ones I mentioned above are regurgitated again, since they have been done to death. After those areas have been detailed, *then* I would be fine with returning to those areas, as a somewhat reasonable amount of time has passed to make regurgitation products semi-worthwhile.

Will this happen? Knowing WotC - heck no. Regurgitation products can be produced cheaply, since a large amount of work can be hacked out by R&D and the product will still sell anyways because of the "FR" logo.

Ah, the life of a FR DM.

WORD

Oh boy, please allmighty lord of roleplaying no more western heartlands pleeeeeezz. (and even more please no evermeet and moonshae isles....jeebus save us)
Old Empires would be roXor kewl, as it would be the perfect companion for unaproachable east and the beyond Fearun Book

It has. The Western Heartlands have been extensively covered in the FRCS, Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast, and the 2e Campaign Setting, among others. These books have multiple sections and paragraphs covering every named area within the Western Heartlands.

The Western Heartlands have traditionally gotten decent coverage in the setting basics (grey box, 2e box, FR Adventures for the cities, and the FRCS), but they have never gotten supplement-grade coverage (a la The North box set, or the Silver Marches). I'd much rather see a supplement on the Western Heartlands than one for Cormyr or the Dalelands, which *have* gotten supplement-grade coverage before.

How can you exclude Thay and Anauroch (or at least the Shade)?

 

[Faraer]

The non-Volo's Guide sourcebooks that the Dales and Cormyr have devoted to them, though -- FRS1 The Dalelands and Cormyr -- are mediocre books with much repetition and little new material; they're among the 1990s books that gave some the false impression that any further coverage of the Heartlands would be similarly redundant. They would certainly not need be regurgitation, since Ed has millions of words on the Heartlands already written in his basement boxes.

 

[Dark Jezter]

How can you exclude Thay and Anauroch (or at least the Shade)?

Thay will be covered in The Unapproachable East, which is coming out soon.

As for the Anauroch, you can certainly list it if you want to.
