A FORGOTTEN REALMS Product Bibliography . . . . . 154

Welcome back, my friends, to the show

that never ends.

OK, rock anthems aside, welcome back

to the FORGOTTEN REALMS cam-

paign setting. The 2nd Edition, post-

Avatar, new and improved Realms,

created for your fun and amusement by

the planetary engineering firm of Grubb

and Greenwood, Unlimited, aided and

abbetted by Messrs. Winter, LaForce,

Caldwell, Fabian, and Dameron.

Many of you reading this are old

friends of the Realms, coming from long

exposure in the pages of DRAGON ® mag-

azine, from the adventures and novels

that have played out across this humble

stage over the years, and/or from the

growing amount of projects (from TSR

and from licensers) set in the Realms.

Some are newcomers looking to figure

out what all the excitement is about.

The excitement is about a campaign set-

ting greater in size than North America

and still growing. The excitement is about

interesting characters and amazing ad-

ventures. The excitement is about a magi-

cal world that was a home for the

AD&D ® game, and now, with publica-

tion of this text, is the home for AD&D

2nd Edition.

The excitement is about the Forgotten

Realms.

Those familiar with the Realms, and in

particular those who have the original

campaign set, are familiar with the story

behind the Realms. It was created by Ed

Greenwood as a setting for his own fan-

tasy stories. With the introduction of the

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ® game, it be-

came the home of his own personal cam-

paign, and with the introduction of the

AD&D game, it took that next step fore-

ward. During this time, Ed wrote volumi-

nous entries to DRAGON magazine,

using the Realms as a setting for his de-

scriptions of magical items, monsters, and

spells.

Meanwhile, down in Lake Geneva,

Wisconsin, TSR was looking for a new

campaign setting for the AD&D game. I

remembered Eds articles in DRAGON

magazine and was assigned to see if there

was a world behind it, or if Ed was just

making things up as he went along.

Eight months and two file-cabinets

worth of material later, the

FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign set

was unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

And we havent slowed down since.

The book you hold in your hand has

several purposes. The first is to create a

common reference for the Realms as it

moves into its fourth year. The Realms

has changed in the course of its develop-

ment, with new lands, characters, and

tales added by a host of contributors over

its young life. In its original inception, we

never anticipated the Avatars or the up-

coming barbarian invasion. This book is

a chance for us to gather our breath, take

stock, and then plan for the future.

Its second task is to bring the Realms

fully into AD&D 2nd Edition. Enough has

been added in the 2nd Edition rules to

merit our reflecting those changes in the

campaign setting, and to show DMs what

we have done in our 2nd Edition cam-

paigns so that they can bring their own

Realms up to date. (As a dinosaur of gam-

ing, I remember the S-L-O-W process of

upgrading our campaigns from the D&D

game to the AD&D game with the release

of one hardback book a year.)

The third task of this book is to prepare

for the future, to create a common source-

book for DMs and everyone else to use

while adventuring in the Realms. Rather

than repeat a great deal of character and

country information from the original

boxed set (most of which is still on target),

we concentrated on the cities of the

Realms, from an adventurers point of

view, including the nation of Sembia.

While my original intent was to leave

Sembia completely untouched by the

whims of our design team, upcoming pro-

jects have made that impossible, and for

that reason I have included details on

many Sembian cities.

Finally, this book is intended to smooth

over a few of the problems that DMs

encounter, from switching fully over to the

2nd Edition rules on creating new specialty

priests to introducing firearms without

overturning play balance. In addition, Ive

redone the magic tables to reflect the new

spells of the Realms, and broken them

down into bite-sized chunks to create

scrolls and random spell lists (something

the 2nd Edition books, with their packed

tables, did not get a chance to do).

What this text is not going to do is re-

place the original FORGOTTEN

REALMS box or the huge volume of ma-

terial generated under the original AD&D

system for use in the Realms. It will point

DMs in the right direction for using that

material, but is intended to be both a sup-

plement to it, and to stand alone for any-

one interested in the Realms at large.

The Realms began in the mind of Ed

Greenwood, but has benefitted and

grown with the contributions of a large

number of brilliant individuals. Lands

and kingdoms have grown from areas on

the map to full-blooded nations under

their command, and characters have

sprung to life under their supervision. The

Realms began with one man, but bloomed

under the care of many.

Id like to thank here those who have

increased the richness and diversity of the

Realms: Doug Niles, Bob Salvatore, Kate

Novak, Scott Ciencin, Jim Lowder, Troy

Denning (these last three were the famous

Richard Awlinson (All-in-one) of the Av-

atar trilogy); Zeb Cook, Jim Ward, Scott

Haring, Scott Bennie, Paul Jaquays, Steve

Perrin, Mike Dobson, Jean Rabe, Skip

Williams, Jay Batista, Rick Swan, John

Nephew, Mike Pondsmith, Karen

Boomgarden, Deborah Christian, David

E. Martin, and Bruce Nesmith. These are

just the authors, designers, and editors

who have expanded the Realms in the past

four years.

Those who have literally put the

Realms on the map, turning the tightly-

crabbed notes of Mr. Greenwood into a fi-

nal form, are cartographers extraor-

dinaire Dave LaForce, Dave Sutherland,

Dennis Kauth, and John Knecht.

And those who have given the Realms

its appearance and look: artists Keith

Parkinson, Clyde Caldwell, Larry

Elmore, Jeff Easley, Gerald Brom, Steve

Fabian, Val Valusek, Ned Dameron, and

graphics wizards Stephanie Tabat, Roy

Parker, and Colleen OMalley.

And while were at it, those who have

taken the Realms outside the ranks of TSR

into new areas: George MacDonald and

the folk at SSI, Chuck Crane and the Ral

Partha team, and Barbara Kesel, Mike

Gold, Elliot S. Maggin, Dan Mishkin,

Rags Morales and a horde of other won-

derful people at DC Comics.

Is that all? No, lest we forget where all

this came from in the first place, thanks to

Dave and Gary for the D&D game, which

got the whole ball of wax moving.

And to Ed Greenwood and Elminster.

After all these years, I cant really call

Elminster Eds creation, or even his alter

ego. The best I can do is to say that the old

wizard time-shares in Eds brain, and the

two (?) of them produce wonderful things

together.

Enough thank yous. Enjoy the Realms

as we move forward into its 2nd Edition.
