I'll likely run this trilogy too cos it sounds really cool, and I'll see if theres a way to toss in Sons of Grumsh and a few sites from Mysteries of the Moonsea as well. I like Elminster though, he and Khelben are the only Chosen I'm any good at roleplaying as a DM, and ol Khelben is gone now (circa 1374DR). Just cos El's tower is in ruins, doesn't mean El was in it at the time (and in fact considering how powerful Elminster is, is pretty certain that he wasn't).As for the earlier comment about the Realms suffering years of "ill-conceived RSE's", I add that I'm a huge fan of the Realms, I don't run campaigns in any other world, I buy all the rpg books and most of the novels and I LOVE RSE's. They advance the timeline, providing for a dymanic and constantly evolving and changing world. That to me is one of the Realms greatest strengths. I would like to see more support in sourcebooks for the events that occur in the novels though, that is my only gripe about them.I don't love the Realms for small stories, its a big world, with big characters and big things happen. The idea of epic characters doing nothing is to my mind absurd. Characters of epic power change the world by their very presence, and so they should. The Realms as published may bear little relation to Greenwoods original design for the world, but then I rate Greenwood as a great writer when it comes to writing sourcebooks, and a frankly terrible writer of stories anyway. I wouldn't want to play in Greenwoods version of the Realms, but I always have a dozen ideas for campaigns set in the TSR/WotC Realms kicking around in my head.</blockquote>
