D&D General "I have Played in or Run a Campaign Set in the Forgotten Realms" (a poll)

[el-remmen]

Simple question. . .

True or False: "I have Played in or Run a Campaign Set in the Forgotten Realms"

By campaign, I mean any ongoing multi-session game with the same characters - so mini-campaigns are fine, but not one-offs.

If you want to add details about which edition/version/changes you made (or were made in the version you played a character in), go for it!

It's not my go-to, but I ran about a year or so in the Realms back in 3e, ran LMoP for a short campaign a few years back, and am currently running a (heavily-modified) version of Dungeon of the Mad Mage for one of my groups.

None of these games have leaned heavily into FR lore or worldbuilding, the Realms were more just a backdrop with a nice map.

 

[Maxperson]

True. I've run about 90% of my campaigns there since 1e.

Back when I was introduced to d&d, as a player, in 2e/3e/3.5e days, the campaigns were all in FR. The d&d campaigns I’ve ran have been about 2/3 FR. Currently running a 5e game that started in Mistledale and has since progressed through Cormyr and the Sea of Fallen Stars, to the western reaches of Kara-Tur.

My fellow players and I have been playing in Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus for well over a year now. We all started out as strangers just entering the town when a member of the Flaming Fists decided to 'draft' us into solving a problem they were facing with the followers of Zariel. Now we're all 10th level characters.

I had a big campaign in 2e days there and have come back to in exclusively in 5e. For 3e/4e we kept a lot of things like gods and some spells from FR and use Phandalin for more backdrop now. It seems more generic now with no cannon and timeline.

 

[Reynard]

Only because I ran official modules in 5E. I would otherwise never use FR.

 

[Nikosandros]

Before 5e I bought a lot of FR products, but used them for inspiration or for downright stealing and re-adaptation.

In 5e, I've run the Lost Mines mini-campaign twice and Dragon Heist (in an extended version) once. Personally, I find 5e loose approach to FR lore quite liberating.

 

[Dioltach]

I took a break from DM'ing last year and one of my players ran a series of modules set in FR.

And I've played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and Icewind Dale 1 and 2.

 

[overgeeked]

True. One of the referees in my long-time D&D group is obsessed with FR.
