Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gargoyle" data-source="post: 6362263" data-attributes="member: 529">Yes, I could also flip through the many FR books on my shelf.  I don't want to because I'd like something more up to date and geared toward creating a campaign in 5e.  I know that I don't need to have an updated map of the realms, an explanation of the Sundering, notes on the current pantheon, bullet points on the history of the time between my 4e FR books and the Tyranny of Dragons, background traits customized for Realm characters, or descriptions of the new factions.  I just want all that, (and it doesn't have to be comprehensive, just enough to get me going) so that if I create a new 5e campaign I don't have to research all that myself.  It doesn't seem like much to ask for, considering that 5e is the flagship product.  Even in the Wiki, there seems to be a gap when it comes to info about the Sundering, because I don't believe the novels have detailed it all.  Which is confusing because now Tyranny of Dragons is out.  I'm no Realms guru though, maybe it's all there and I just can't find it or don't understand it all.  As far as when it happens, that comparison to the rules isn't valid.  This is fluff, and there is no concern about playtesting or releasing rules that aren't going to be in the final book.  They can release it as soon as they like without worry about releasing something that will be changed later.I can tell you that I probably won't wait long for such a product though.  Even though I applaud a methodical release schedule, my thinking right now is that I should do what I always do, ignore the Realms and create my own homebrew. I do like the Realms, and there is nothing wrong with running it in an earlier era, it's just not what I want to do.Of course, we don't know what's in the DMG yet though, and it may be that this info will be in there.  I'd prefer it would be separate, but this wouldn't surprise me much.</blockquote>
