I have to admit that the Forgotten Realms is my least favorite campaign setting only because I don't have an opinion about Greyhawk. Now, my experience may be colored by the people who I gamed with at the time I was playing in the Realms, but I did not enjoy the excruciating level of detail that the setting has accumulated over the years. My first foray into Dungeons and Dragons was Game Mastering, and I hadn't yet developed the GM chops to shut down the irritating players in my group. Having to...

A surprisingly strong guidebook for gamers who want to play in the Forgotten Realms. From the setting's reputation, I'd expected something overcrowded with established canon, where players couldn't find anywhere to carve out adventures of their own. Instead I found a vibrant setting packed with interesting people and places, and many many adventure hooks. Comparing it to the D&D 3rd Edition take on the Greyhawk setting, I think I finally understand why the Realms overtook it as the primary setti...

Legnoso, per quanto uno dei piu decenti tra gli ultimi di Salvatore. Quello precedente l'avevo letto in lingua Inglese e mi aveva annoiato a morte, questo invece riesce a diventare interessante verso la fine del libro. Personaggi approfonditi ma largamente stereotipati, un po' spiccio nelle descrizioni.

I have only read one book in the Forgotten Realms series, so playing D&D in the Forgotten Realms is a little challenging for me...but my first time went pretty well and I really enjoy playing. So exciting!

The Forgotten Realms campaign setting has grown on me over time. I like how it has a detailed geography and history, with lots of magic and playable races. I don't like the large number of powerful NPCs (usually from the novels) who are scattered around the setting though.

For some reason, I find game books really relaxing to read, and this is one of my favorites--covers a lot of ground, leaves a lot up to the imagination.

I've always been a fan of the forgotten realms as a setting. To my mind it is one of the most detailed, well-thought out fictional worlds specifically designed for gaming.The 3rd edition D&D version of the campaign setting updates the overarching meta-plot and is absolutely packed full of flavour and added rules material for 3.0e, and so it has a little bit for everyone. For players there are new prestige classes, special rules for creating characters with additional forgotten realms specific de...

I don't even like the Forgotten Realms setting, but this book was amazing. Beautiful, well-organized and engaging.

I've always loved playing in the Forgotten Realms. This edition is beautifully rendered, rich in details, maps and so on.

I loved the development of the Forgotten Realms mythos that this book provided. I think the 4th ed developments for FR really jumped the shark and they were trying to get back to this with 5ed.

Ler sobre Faerûn é uma das coisas mais deliciosas que existem para mim - acompanho Forgotten Realms há tanto, mas tanto tempo, que dá uma sensação de eu voltar aos anos 2010 pra trás, enquanto tudo parece muito novo e atualizado. Esse livro é uma maravilha de edição, diagramação e ilustração. Obra prima do mundo da fantasia. Não pude deixar de notar uns errinhos de português, mas passo pano à vontade pra eles. Vai me ajudar pra caramba a escrever.

Third edition is where Forgotten Realms begins to buckle and creak underneath its own mounting success and popularity, but it's not yet gone to the realms of terror and madness it would in the fourth.

Perhaps it's a measure of my geekhood but I take great pleasure in just reading volumes like this. For me, the attraction of RPGs has always been the "back story."Like MAR Barker (see my Tekumel entry), however, Ed Greenwood is better at imagining fantasy settings than writing about them -- I've tried reading some of his novels and just couldn't finish them (as a rule I avoid serial novels like the Forgotten Realms, Star Wars or Star Trek -- even I have better things to do than waste time on the...

This book is a MUST HAVE if you have a campaign in Faerun. The information is timeless for every edition of D&D. It gave me information I didn't even know I needed. Seriously. GET THIS BOOK!

My first foray into rpgs was AD&D over 18 years ago when my friend's father invited us to check it out after learning we'd already started reading books like Lord of the Rings. I quickly ensconced myself in the imaginative realm and for an awkward but creative preteen (who became an awkward but creative teen more interested in THAC0 than was probably good for him) it was the very best sort of game. In the early 90s I discovered Dragonlance and, more importantly, Forgotten Realms novels and soon

The Forgotten Realms has always been my favourite of all TSR/WotC settings. One of the reasons is probably because of the wealth of history and lore built for the world. I know people who don't like that so much of the world is filled in and known, but that's what draws me to the setting - it's like a living world.This FR setting's book is for D&D 3rd Edition. There's a separate Player's Guide that updates it to 3.5 Edition.A wealth of lore and information on Faerun lies within these pages - fro...

One of the most beautiful, comprehensive, complete and engaging books for D&D. It is worth just for the wondrous descriptions of the Realms and the endless adventures it offers. A must-have in any RPG library.

Una de las mejores guias de campaña que se publicaron en 3ra Edicion; los libros de la segunda son muy superiores pero esta guia supo encontrar su camino. Buenos momentos!!

Basic Concept: A world guide for Faurun (the Forgotten Realms) in the D&D setting for 3rd edition.Faerun was one of the first D&D worlds I was introduced to, partially through fiction and partially through friends being obsessed with it. It's very high-magic for a fantasy world. This book gave the rules for playing in the new (at the time) edition of D&D. It was solid, and gave a good overview of the world, the gods, and the magic.

The 2nd edition rulebook came in a sweet box with maps and other paraphernalia. It also had superior art. Meh!
