I just don't see why they even bothered with the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.

[QUOTE="JohnLynch, post: 6754941, member: 6749563"] I haven't finished reading mine yet, but I've quite liked what I've read so far. I am happy with my purchase as I have new ideas for adventures and campaigns that I would not have otherwise had. Quite possibly nothing. If the book sells poorly then we more than likely won't get a book in this style again. We might get a campaign guide that is more in the vein of 3e and earlier, or we might get splat books much more in the vein of 4e/3e. Or we might get nothing and WotC continues to simply release adventures and free articles online. If the books sells well we'll likely get another book in this style. Eventually. IMO it definitely does. This book can easily be used in conjunction with any 3e or 2e source (remember, new players and DMs aren't going to be so hung up on what year books are set in). If you wanted to use 2e or 3e material in the post-Sundering era than there's very little stopping you for 90% of the material out there. If you want to use the material in the Sword Coast Guide for a 2e or 3e era campaign than you'll be able to use 90% of the book. Not in my realms they didn't. When people in the Sword Coast say that part of Tymanther remained behind what they're hearing is garbled rumours. What actually happened was a band of Dragonborn mercenaries went and attacked an Unther city and overthrew the government and are now waging war against the rest of Unther. Those enemies of Unther have not yet allied with the dragonborns, but they're certainly considering it. As for the earthmote that remained behind. It certainly did. Although none of the inhabitants remained behind and there have been monsters cited coming from that earthmote. No-one really knows what's going on and no-one has gone up to it and then came back to tell the tale. Do you know of a source for a copy in good condition that won't cost an arm and a leg? (I'm using 3e FRCS, 4e FRCG and the 2e Forgotten Realms Adventures as well as a host of other 3e and 2e books). As for Abeir and Toril being separate or together: When the dragonborn of Tymanther were transported to Toril in the 100 years that followed they expanded their kingdom into the region surrounding the transported land. When Toril and Abeir unseparated again, the portions of Tymanther that remained behind were those that had expanded beyond the nation's original borders. Airspur remaining behind is a mystery and one rife with adventure possibilities for the DM and players that want to explore it. Dunno if that's canon. But if it bothers you then it's a simple explanation to get the Realms into a state that doesn't bother you (I've personally gone with the only dragonborn left in the world are those who weren't in Tymanther at the time. Same with the Abeiran Genasi). [/QUOTE]
