As soon as I’d read — and loved — the 4e core books (reviewed right here on the Stew), I was excited about seeing the 4e Forgotten Realms setting book. I paid full price for the privilege of getting it at the one store in my area that had it on release day (our lone Borders), and tucked into it right away. After several days with it, here are my impressions of this book — a 3,000-word review from a longtime FR fan and GM.…

Thus begins the Transformation of the North, the third in a series of posts describing how I’d remake the Forgotten Realms before the official Fourth Edition release of the campaign setting. Previous posts were suggestions…

If you love the Forgotten Realms — or should I say, if you love to tinker with the Forgotten Realms — then Fourth Edition presents a rare opportunity. I recommend that DM’s running 4E games take a crack at revising their Realms before the official update, which presumably will advance the timeline and explain the evolution from 3E to 4E magic systems, is published in August. Why? Here’s a chance to put your own stamp on this storied world. Even if you are a DM…
