D&D 5E Neverwinter is the next setting! (Did we know this?)

[Mirtek]

Its gonna HAVE to be a world-neutral setting, since in the 4e Realms, Neverwinter was obliterated.

Actually ruins make excellent adventure sites

You have not read [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Gauntlgrym-Neverwinter-Book-R-Salvatore/dp/0786955007"]Gauntglyrm[/ame] apparently.

You have not read Gauntglyrm apparently.

Since we haven't, can you bring us up to speed?

I hope we are not going back to the novels=canon days of FR again.

Neverwinter was blasted pretty good but was not totally destroyed. There are survivors they are trying to rebuild and fight off evil at every turn.

I recommend reading the book its pretty good.

true, but campaign settings?

I take it back, a frontier town trying to rebuild would be a pretty cool place to stage a campaign.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

I'm admittingly unsure on how Epic could be portrayed, but I can easily see several full heroic and paragon campaigns being centered entirely around a single town fighting off evil - both from outside and within - while trying to not only rebuild the ruins into a fully fledge city, but make it a prosperous one to last the ages (until the next goddess of magic dies), with the PCs ending as the champions of the city and outlying areas.

...hmmm, Kingmaker as a campaign setting...

One of the evils they are fighting against is the incursion of Thay and Szass Tam. I think Epic could be pretty easy to fit in.

I hope Neverwinter is more stand alone. If it i heavily tied into FR, then I'll have to pass.

I would like to see a more extensive city-style campaign, though. I liked Hammerfast, but it was not enough.

These days never ended. Novels are still canon

true, but campaign settings?

Ruins of Zhentil Keep was a boxed set back in 2e, with more pages than 4e campagin settings.
