[QUOTE="Mark Taylor, post: 7722915, member: 6877985"] While on the one hand I am glad this is seeing some 'official' love again, I think the direction they are taking may not be the most lucrative. In my own home-brewed version of the Forgotten Realms (which I have dubbed my "Misbegotten Realms"), I had placed in on the Sword Coast (of course, I moved the sword coast over to the Dragonreach, but thats another story). It was good placement, if I do say so m'self. I plan a series of conversion-modules for old TSR stuff for the DM's Guild, porting it into the 5th edition Realms, and one possible project was to move [I]Egg of Phoenix[/I] into the Utter East (its the only place I could possibly put it, not really disturb anything, and it still be considered 'Faerûn'). I might want to contact Mr. Mentzer - I think this could be a good thing, but it won't get the traction it deserves unless its incorporated into the 5e 'Core' setting, which is FR. I might also want to re-post the maps I did for this, when I placed it in my own version of the Sword coast, just to 'generate buzz'. Perhaps include an 'adaption' for the FR setting?
