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.

How to Use This Horrible, Horrible Book It IS possible to use this book. Here is an example of how to use the 4th Edition FRCG to actually play a 4E D&D game in the Forgotten Realms: 1) Open the pitifully dull and inaccurate map, pick a location. For example, Nathlekh, a city featured in FRCG author Bruce R. Cordell's latest novel, "Plague of Spells." 2) Search for Nathlekh in the Index or Table of Contents of the FRCG. Hmm, not there.

Its hard to believe that some of them who have actually written some very good... more info
not one red cent I haven't actualy bought this book , but i had a good deal of time to look it over in teh bookstore the other day. what i saw disgusted me to the core.

In fact , I think i would ahve prefered that this edition instead of this. they gutted out every thing that made Fr... more info
Devoid of Life For old players of the old realms the new realms may end up being a hollow and empty place best avoided. So much has changed with 4th edition that I really feel that they should have just came up with a new campaign world or two for 4th. I mean, how many times can Mystra die or the weave get reshaped because of some catastrophe? Is it going to be every new edition? I always felt that a thinning of the realms was coming in the new edition when authors would get embarrassed by contradicting cannon... more info
