I need Baldur's Gate!

[d12]

I need a list of prodcuts that provide information on Baldur's Gate, especially maps. I already have the FRCS. HELP!!!!

I don't mind if its stuff from older editions.

One good source is the game Baldur's Gate

Products include:

Forgotten Realms Adventure hardcover (2e) - includes full city map, and city description in the "Forgotten Realms Adventures"-style (go figure!) - still considered the best format of city descriptions.

Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast (2e) - a very good book that greatly expands on Baldur's Gate. Includes a city map and many more locations (including, for example, a full description of the Elfsong Tavern).

There is mention of Baldur's Gate in a smattering of other products, but those two above have the most detailed information out of all the FR products.

Thanks everyone!

there was a Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate. Don't ask me what is in it, but it was made.

I love this board.

Whoa, just a warning! That book is named poorly. It, in fact, has nothing to do with the city of Baldur's Gate. It came out at the same time as the video game "Baldur's Gate II" and was named that way purely for marketing purposes.

This book, in fact, covers western Amn (including the city of Athkatla, Crimmor, and Velen, as well as the Dragonshead Peninsula) - the same locations in the video game Baldur's Gate II.

Again, the warning: THIS BOOK HAS NO INFORMATION ON THE CITY OF BALDUR'S GATE.

Beware marketing-types, for they are truly evil.

Thanks again Arnwyn. I will go for the Forgotten Realms Adventure hardcover.

Zaruthustran mentioned the PC game, which you might want to check since part of the manual is a Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate (about 30 pages or so).
