Map of Faerun added to FR Cover?

Another thing, if they follow the 2 book model, they'll have a lot more room in those 300 or so pages for fluff. Only about 130 pages of the 3E book dealt with actual geography.

I assumed he'd be first against the wall when the revolution - ahem, spellplague - comes.

Or maybe he sells too many books for that.

A revolution?

DoN,t over blow it, it,s more like a natural - well, supranatural - event.

Yeah, between the two books, we're talking about 500 pages or so, I believe.

 

[Ranger REG]

You mean just enough information to tell you how much work you're going to have to do?

No, enough information so I can focus on creating adventures.

500?

Yeah, I can throw this book to any misbehavin' players on the noggin.

So, okay, the book will cover both Western and Eastern Realms, but what about the Hordeland, Zakhara, and Maztica?

I'd welcome it if he got neutralised. It would mean the "Gone fishing in the River Styx" sign could come down from his door.

And his more Mary-Sue shenanigans were always somewhat more annoying than endearing, on the whole. Volo is a much more useful "sage" than Elminster for D&D game purposes, IMO.

A very loose title to associate with Volo ... or Marco Volo for that matter.

Yeah, not like the D20 modern stuff.

Yeah, apparently.

You know the difference between a comma and an apostrophe, right?

Anyway, it may be a "supernatural event" in the game world, but it's a revolution at WotC HQ. The Knight and the Scout have already been confirmed as being taken out back and shot, their stuff redistributed to "worthier" members of the clique. Hell, half the FR pantheon has suddenly discovered that they are ones less equal than others.

But they've already said Elminster is still around. I'm hoping that, if he has to around, his Chosen status has been revoked and he's been magically neutered somehow. He can still be the Sage of Shadowdale (old, wise, knows stuff) without being Superman (and Don Juan) too.

Yah-huh, perfect foil for an adventuring party, isn't he?

A source of misdirection mixed with real information and the odd secret, constantly getting into trouble so always on the move or needing to be rescued..he's probably the best D&D game cameo NPC FR can offer.
