Which FR regional suppliment would you like to see most? (Take two)

[kuje31]

This might just be internet rumor, but I heard that WotC has plans for a Waterdeep/Undermountain suppliment in 2005.

If anybody knows more about this, feel free to elaborate.

No rumor, Rich Baker and Ed have said for months that there IS a Waterdeep sourcebook coming out next year. It is also going to come out about the same time Ed's and Elaine's Waterdeep novel comes out next year.

Enworld even had the sourcebook listed on thier coming soon/next year part on the right side of news page. Er well it looks like they removed it but it was there!

I'd like the Moonshae's. Not Evermeet or elsewhere, just the Moonshae's thanks. Always been interesting in the area since the first novels came out all those years ago.

 

[Eosin the Red]

I would like to see how they developed the lands surrounding the Mines of Bloodstone. I had a right jolly old time with that one and enjoyed the region. If not that then I would like to see a Heartlands supplement.

I picked Vassa, but Chult would be cool, too.

The people who voted for the Cold Lands (myself included) will be happy to know that the upcoming PS2 game Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone will take players to the Bloodstone Lands (Damara and Vaasa). The game also features a storyline written by R.A. Salvatore.

Read more about the game here.

I put in a vote for the Heartlands as well. It's where my D&D gaming started a few years ago, and the DM was a good DM, even if he did screw me in the end (for the two months I was part of the game I had a blast, but it's how he lied to me in the end that caused me to despite him as a person...but anyway). I have fond memories of that area, and despite the popularity of Salvatore's books, which I love to read and can read over and over, and the North and all that....it's the Heartlands and Daleslands for me.

 

[Derulbaskul]

What I want is a regional sourcebook that provides plot hooks... and then IS NOT immediately followed by a series of novels that resolve those plot hooks.

=> Silver Marches, I'm thinking of you. Why did the orc horde metaplot have to be resolved in the latest batch of Driz'zt books?

What I also want is a regional sourcebook that actually details what happens in any novel series that relates to the same area.

=> Underdark, I'm thinking of you. Why wasn't the Silence of Lolth properly detailed in what is probably going to be the last FR product that ever deals with the Underdark.

My vote, though, is for the Heartlands even though they are probably about to be destroyed by a rage of dragons... thanks to the next novel series.

 

[Neo]

I couldn't vote as there was more than one I wanted

As mentioned in the other thread I'd like to see an Island Kingdoms a Heartlands and an Ancient Netheril sourcebook.

 

[howandwhy99]

As before I'll suggest an Epic level Netheril book to supplement the ELH. (see other thread).

I voted for the Old Empires.

The Hordelands would be interesting too, if they switched the flavor to more of a ruthless Horselord Conan / JRRMartin setting.

 

[Faraer]

The Heartlands (Jeff Grubb's term, by the way) -- well, everything north of the Vilhon and west of Impiltur -- is the Realms I love, where Ed sets his campaigns and where most the unpublished realmslore describes. The rest of Faerûn is interesting, and the kind of detail that Serpent Kingdoms will provide is fine, but those areas are for me sources of merchants and mercenaries and trade goods rather than any kind of 'here'.

And the thing is not to try to put the Heartlands in a single book, but to divide it into parts as small as possible -- which practically will mean the Dales, Sembia, etc. -- so there'll be space for plenty of newly published depth once the basics, the rules crap and the timeline updates are dealt with.
