Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, 4th Edition

Product Description:
Dark perils and great deeds await!

Welcome to Faerûn, a land of amazing magic, terrifying monsters, ancient ruins, and hidden wonders. The world has changed since the Spellplague, and from this arcane crucible have emerged shining kingdoms, tyrannical empires, mighty heroes, and monster-infested dungeons. The Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide presents a world of untold adventure; a land of a thousand stories shaped by the deeds of adventurers the likes of which Faerûn has never seen before.

This book includes everything a Dungeon Master needs to run a D&D campaign in the Forgotten Realms setting, as well as elements that DMs can incorporate into their own D&D campaigns. The book provides background information on the lands of Faerûn, a fully detailed town in which to start a campaign, adventure seeds, new monsters, ready-to-play non-player characters, and a full-color poster map of Faerûn.

Rating: - Unfortunately Misunderstood
It only seems bad because it isn't what people expected.This setting is unfortunately misunderstood.

I had bad feelings about this book initially.My dearest Forgotten Realms got an unwanted face lift. Wizard of the Coast made a bold move, that is all there is too it.

My perception changed after I talked with a local game store owner.Why would WotC offer the same setting AGAIN!?!?I don't know how many times the Forgotten Realms setting has been released, but I know ... Read More
Rating: - not the same old realms but still interesting
Its definitely not the old realms that we've all come to love but change I suppose is inevitable. It actually has a lot of interesting subjects in it including some cool monsters and some sweet NPC's, including Jarlaxle. The only bad thing is that that left out some key places, and they could have combined it with the player's guide.

I'm also getting sick of the 4E nay sayers. Give it a chance. Just consider it a different game.
Rating: - Over-simplified
Many old time players of Dungeons and Dragons see the new 4th Edition rules as over-simplification, and it's true, but for people who've never played the game before, it can be the best way to go, while we veterans sit back and cry. Wizards of the Coast is owned by Hasbro, after all, and the new 4.0 rules call to mind a board game with no board.

That said and out of the way, I have to admit that the 4th Edition Forgotten Realms books also had me clutching my head in despair and frustration. ... Read More
Rating: - My Favorite 4E Book thus Far

Many of the negative reviews center on the changes in this edition of FR as opposed to the previous edition.I can't speak ... Read More
