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

[NiTessine]

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north of the Vilhon and west of Impiltur -- is the Realms I love, where Ed sets his campaigns and where most the unpublished realmslore describes.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.

I fully agree on this. Cormyr's recent timeline advancements would require lots of space by themselves, and the fact Sembia has never before been given an in-depth look would demand books of their own for both. Ideally, I think it'd be four books: Dalelands, Cormyr, Sembia, and Sword Coast, with the last one detailing the area from Baldur's Gate and Candlekeep to Iriaebor - roughly the same region as detailed in the old Volo's Guide to Sword Coast.

I voted for the Cold Lands (long live Orcus!), but I'd be almost as pleased if they did anything on Maztica, Kara-Tur, Zakhara, the old empires (Netheril and Imaskar), or the new cosmology.

Only THREE votes for The Vast? Wow...

I ran a fun campaign there once in Procampur. Great setting, lots to work with, interesting neighbors...it was great.

Cormyr needs a detailed update, but I think most of it could be rolled into a heartlands book inclulding the Dalelands and SEMBIA for the love of Jebus.

Also, I need info on Scardale...LOTS of info on Scardale! Hear that group! Scardale!

Since they've said time and time and time again that a beyond FR suppliment is never gonna happen and since they never had ANYTHING to do with FR they have no place in this poll. QUIT PICKING IT!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!

They were an aberration, a falsehood, TRICKSEY!! They glommed onto the Realms for marketing purposes ONLY!

.....30 minutes later....

and furthermore......!

....45 minutes later...

Don't be fooled!!

Undermountain

ditto.

 

[MrFilthyIke]

ditto.

Wow, I really expected Diaglo's response to be "An FR supplement detailing how FR is inferior to OD&D(1974)".

well... FR in itself is just a poor imitation of ...

but for the topic of this thread... a detailed Undermountain would be more on par.

The poll says 'what do you want', not what are they going to do. I want Zakhara.

I agree Undermountain is cool, but still lean towards more info elsewhere...I
really wanted MORE detail in Underdark on places like Old Shanataar (sp?) and Deep Imaskari (sp? too damn early to think straight). I just found the discussion too brief...maybe a book about the coolness that are Duergar!

Moonshae, Heartlands being a close second.

Once the basics are covered (Waterdeep, Swordcoast, The North, Savage Frontier, Silver Marches, Moonshae, The Heartlands), exotic stuff (like that Shining South, or Serpent Kingdoms, or even interesting remote corners) should be done IMHO. But the basics have to be done first.

It's a pretty weird thought that since AD&D had some books detailing those regions, that D&D3E doesn't need to do so. How many players will actually have that stuff? 1%? 5%?
