[QUOTE="Nightfall, post: 2249505, member: 374"] Thought it was a novel or three ago... Etressa, I'd definately go with Waterdeep for three basic reasons: 1) Undermountain. Especially since now they have the first level of it online, using Undermountain in a campaign EVEN if it's just a "side quest" has a lot of potential fun for newbies. 2) The new book Updates and I also think condenses a lot of the old 2nd edition material, so now you don't have to mess around as much finding a tavern or three 3) It's Waterdeep!! I mean next to maybe Baldur's Gate or the North, it's the other place people that have played D&D FR RPG games from the early SSI days know of. (Course I'm old. :p :) ) Two falls, The only thing I think the Player's Guide does is a) fixes a few Pr-classes and b) updates the cosmology and time lines. But you are right, the FRCS is pretty much the entire world in a thumbnail. As for the new Waterdeep book, from what I'm hearing it won't render your older stuff "inadequate" merely update it and give a new spin. (And yes I'm SO with you on the mixed/bad reviews for Champs of Ruin. God...what the hell where they THINKING?!!) [/QUOTE]
