[QUOTE="Leif, post: 5729039, member: 48762"] I have no problem with using the Forgotten Realms as the setting for this game, but really Sparky, I'm basically in the same boat that you're in because I really don't know too much about the Realms either. You should have seen me practically ripping apart every 4E book that I own looking for a "Moon Elf" reference. I knew I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't find it to save my life. Never did find it -- I had to be told where it was. As usual. Don't worry, though, everyone will know everything that they are supposed to know when they are supposed to know it. I will not be presuming that you know anything about the world that I have not told you. And, speaking of presumptions, if anyone presumes to know anything about the setting based solely upon the published works, they do so at their extreme peril, because chances are that MY FR diverges from the published FR in unexpected ways. And remember, no matter what else happens, your characters are NOT from FR, they are from the Feywild. It just happens to be adjacent to the FR. Some of the time, anyway. The way planes migrate and move around in my games, you might very well end up in Eberron when you are trying to get to Waterdeep. (Waterdeep is a city in the Realms, just in case you didn't know.) Again, don't worry. Shhh, it'll be ok, I promise. [/QUOTE]
