What next for FR?

Hi,

Much as I like the Lands of Intrigue (my current campaign is set there), I would prefer to see the Cold Lands covered as they haven't been touched since FR 9 Bloodstone Lands many, many years ago.

Cheers

That's sorta what I was thinking myself.

That's sorta what I was thinking myself.

And so do I. I like the Lands of Intrigue, but there's enough stuff to last a long time of adventuring available. Let's get back to the roots .

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

I wanna see Mazteca, personally.

 

[Evil Monkey]

I would like to first see books on the Old Empires, Vilhon Reach, and Bloodstone Lands (in that order), but I think a revisit to the Lands of Intrigue would be great after that.

 

[Steel_Wind]

Cormyr, Sembia and Westgate please.

...one a massive adventure into the Ruins of Myth Drannor...

So as not to spoil too much, if you are interested in seeing why this will not happen, and don't mind having elements of The Final Gate spoiled, go here:

But I would also I agree that I want to see something on Myth Drannor. Lots of stuff. More than just some measly 160 pages.

 

[Mystery Man]

I'm tired of rehashing old crap. :/ Make something like an explorers guide.

 

[Arkhandus]

If there's any justice, WotC will put out a Kara-Tur book for FR before 3e becomes 4e or 3.75e. Followed, preferably, with a Zakhara book and then a Maztica book.

/me returns to hopeless despairing

I do like the format, though, and with a few tweaks I think it should be the standard format for FR regional books from here on out. I'd include a little more lore, but not necessarily as much as a lot of people are asking for.

Shakes head sadly.

I think Mysteries of the Moonsea is a fine book for what it is, which is an adventure book in a similar vein to Ruins of Adventure. I do not think it does an adequate job conveying the entire Moonsea area, however. If you were new to the realms and bought this book, you would be left with little more than a thumbnail sketch of the region and four cities. If you were serious about running this region , you would need to go back to the 1E and 2E supplements that detailed it in much greater detail.

I feel that as a collection of short adventure locations, it succeeds just fine, and shows how a campaign frequently shifts gears, leads you from one place to another, causing you to deal with one organization or another. In that respect, I think it's a great book.

Do I want to see the rest of the upcoming regional books follow this format? No way. Would I mind seeing more books of this nature set in the Forgotten Realms? Sure, I'd happily buy them. Just call them something other than regional sourcebooks.
