[QUOTE="thewok, post: 5672080, member: 60907"] The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (as well as the Eberron and Dark Sun CS books) isn't a chain of interconnected encounters. It's a book which describes the world of Faerun, providing a backdrop into which you may put your own adventures. In fact, I don't think there are any encounters in it (I don't have it nearby to check). If you're looking for pre-made adventures, there are a number of them out, though some may be more difficult to find than others. I think only one or two are specifically Forgotten Realms. Edit: To add some more, there are a number of poster maps available via those afore-mentioned adventures. Dungeon Tiles are also an excellent way to come up with some maps, and the Master sets are a great place to start. Then there's the trusty vinyl mat (by a number of people, though Chessex seems the most used), which is nothing more than a rolled-up sheet of vinyl with a square grid printed on one side. You use wet-erase markers to draw right on it to make maps for encounters, and they are available at pretty much any gaming store worth shopping. Gale Force 9 also make a similar product using the official WotC poster maps; these can be a bit expensive, depending on how often you plan on using them. From what I've seen, though, they're pretty nice. There are other ways to make encounter maps (Dungeon Paper, there's one product that's some sort of interlocking vinyl tile, etc.) but these are the most used that I've seen. [/QUOTE]
