[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6363865, member: 87576"] I still use a lot of 2E material for my 4E games and 4E-era games in this region (it's a highly inaccurate myth that earlier products lost utility after the Spellplague changes). I find [I]Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast[/I], [I]Volo's Guide to the North[/I], and [I]The North[/I] boxed set are all good sources, as is the 2E campaign setting. [I]FR Adventures[/I] is also useful for the city maps and other details. 3E's [I]Silver Marches[/I] also expands nicely on a smaller part of the region covered by 2E's [I]The North[/I] boxed set. To be frank, 4E really didn't change a lot about the area depicted on the Sword Coast map that came with Hoard of the Dragon Queen other than what happened to Neverwinter. And that worked out really well because it inspired one of the best 4E products, the [I]Neverwinter Campaign Setting[/I]. BTW, if you're lopoking for inspiration about adventures to run in Neverwinter, I think the basic structure provided by 1E's [I]FRC1 Ruins of Adventure[/I] is pretty solid. (Just don't use the crappy names or the just-as-crappy maps! :) ) I think you've listed most of the other products that are worthwhile for this area. [/QUOTE]
