Message: <blockquote data-quote="Attila.Herrera" data-source="post: 6701724" data-attributes="member: 6801253">First of, Greetings Enworld. I am a refugee fresh from the WotC forums and I'll be lurking here for the foreseeable future.       Anyway, I've been DMing 5th edition since the alpha, far before any of the published adventures were created, and back then I had a lot of free time. My favorite setting is Eberron and over the years from 3.5 to 5th I have had so much time to immerse myself within the setting that DM'ing Eberron for me is very natural. However my life has become very time consuming and I no longer have the wealth of time to devote to making campaigns, so I decided to start using the 5th edition adventure modules (Princes of the Apocalypse to be specific 'cause I really like that one, a lot). All of these have been published in Forgotten Realms, and while there are suggestions for how to convert the adventure into different settings, I feel the intention is for the campaigns to remain in that setting.Which is where I'd like your help!<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I need suggestions for what wikis are really useful when gaining information on the Forgotten Realms</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ideas of specific places that I should research, like Waterdeep or Neverwinter which I imagine are probably very important</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What characters I should research, I hear Drizzt is super divisive. I literally know nothing about him, besides the fact he is a drow.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ideas for new literature to purchase. I haven't gotten a new book in ages, and I feel now would be a great time! I've perused the review section, but it has been difficult for me to acclimate to it, so a push in the right direction would be very helpful!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cool games in Forgotten Realms would be nice! I like to play video games so this would be another two birds with one stone scenario. I even own Baldur's Gate, but I haven't got past the kobolds since they always seem to shank my party to death. I could give it another go if I get some encouragement, and possibly some advice.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Advice about running in forgotten realms would also be grand. I imagine there may be some nuances to get used to since I've been using Eberron for such a long time.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And encouragement! A simply greeting is nice enough way to give me confidence to DM, and get used to Enworld. There are going to be so many new faces, and I am excited to watch the conversation unfurl.</li> </ul>I'd like to give a preemptive thank you to anyone who saw this thread and decided to help me out, and I'd like to give a big hearty HELLO to Enworld.</blockquote>
