I bet that if out of some strange twist of fate that WotC came out next Monday and said were releasing a 6 Vol FR bookset lots of people would be happy.

And...AND...a fully interactive FR Atlas illustrated by Mike Schley and compatible with Campaign Cartographer, Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds.

I think theyre leaving alot of loot on the table if they dont.

Getting a 6 volume set of books of lore is a pretty steep investment. Unless you're already a Realms fan, I don't know who would buy that.

Like literally hundreds of thousands of platinum pieces.

Edit: Even for DMs who hate the Realms, you can modify any map, change the name of a town or dale and pop it into your preferred fantasy setting.

In these days youre probably right with wikis, pdfs and such but I think theres a market for it in some form.

Yep. See above post. I just want them to expand their product model.

Yeah I assume someone would buy it, I just don't find such a product exactly optimized for a plurality of D&D players, which seems to be the goal of Wizard's book development.

Lets hope that's not the title they choose for the book.

So, so, dirty, hehehe.

I think the target demographic has changed. WotC is more than likely going after the younger gaming generation so itd stand to reason that the format in which they release products. But I want what I want.

If you only knew. Besides we all know they dont print those anymore.
