While I have no interest in 5E or the 5E Realms, per se, I am always interested in anything Realms-related that I can steal for my games. And it's not plagiarism is you credit your source material. Oh, and that's all a very long way of saying: this campaign is going to draw on a number of ideas that appear in Acrozatarim's games. I think reading those threads and looking at how the DM Acrozatarim mixed old and new Realmslore together should convince a lot of DMs that maybe the 4E version of FR is worth a second look. The Winter Soul Jar (this is incomplete but there are podcasts covering the remaining sessions of play).
The Scrimshaw Redemption - Player's Thread.This probably deserves a post of its own but I just want to point to three games set in the 4E version of FR and posted on the RPG.net forums involving a mini-campaign set in Icewind Dale: But for DMs who are actually running games and want a familiar world to set those games in, I think the 4E version of FR is worth another look. For RAS fans who think the Salvatorean vision of the Realms is pure and correct, I can accept that. So, without a 5E version of the Realms beyond what is hinted at in the PHB and the adventures, what is a 5E DM who likes the Realms supposed to do?Īs someone who actively likes the 4E Realms I would suggest that the first question to ask is this: Does the 4E version of the Forgotten Realms really suck?įor Candlekeepers whose D&D-playing days are in the halcyon past, I can accept that it does. Whatever the message was meant to be, it was garbled in a particularly Mearlsian way. He then tried to clarify that statement by suggesting that the information might trickle out in other ways and also that maybe something might be coming but they all need a holiday first. Mike Mearls recently announced in his patented damn-I-really-shouldn't-be-allow-to-make-public-statements-about-D&D-style that first came to our attention during the 5E playtest period (with Rodney Thompson riding to the rescue in almost every instance to actually explain what was really happening) that there were no plans for a 5E version of a campaign setting for the Forgotten Realms. Does the 4E Version of the Forgotten Realms Really Suck? However, something else occurred to me today: I bought The Crystal Shard as a graphic novel.īut, before I talk about that, I thought I might address the question.
