Message: <blockquote data-quote="Distracted DM" data-source="post: 9789794" data-attributes="member: 6894926">I actually do like the art for these alt covers- it's been a year or three since I bought a WotC 5e book, but I'd be lying if I said this cover art hasn't made me consider the books.A lot of players want to know all about the setting they're playing in, especially if it's "the main DnD setting" like FR has become. I remember when I was a kid, primarily a player, I would the FR and Greyhawk and Eberron campaign books; but I wanted to know more about the setting(s) I was playing games in. Maybe I would've been one of those annoying players that would say "what do you mean it's going to take us 3 days to walk from Waterdeep to Silverymoon, it should take 3 weeks!" (no idea how far they actually are)I'm curious about these! I imagine they could be useful for non-realms games, or are they really FR-specific? You've run Frostmaiden, would you find the info here useful to help you run the adventure, to fill in the area more? That's kind of annoying, since they're so high-priced and sold separately.That's very interesting! The bastions section of the DMG inspired me with its events, but I ended up abandoning the actual bastion rules because they kind of fell flat for me (they couldn't compare to the combo of MCDM S&F and A5E stronghold rules I use)... so I'm curious what they use, what they add, maybe they make the base rules more worthwhile?I guess my last question... I have the old 3e FR campaign book somewhere. I'm not really into these new books for "the lore of the Realms," but more for inspiration for my home games. I guess you cover this in your breakdown already, that it's probably not worthwhile. Anyway, thanks for the rundown! Very much appreciate it! - a patron</blockquote>
