ooooooOOOOoooo
Shiny!
More sex and gender equality and racial equality shouldn't even be an argument--it should simply be an assumption for any RPG that wants to stay relevant in the 21st century.
I could say anything in D&D is silly though, because it's a silly game and we are silly people.

I'm hoping for pre-spellplague myself. Why would they release an "all eras" book when they already have a spellplague era book.
I'm also hoping this is the next sign that WOTC is trying to undo the misguided damage done to the D&D during 4e.
If not, I love Golarion.

Well, as I've always said, if you don't like the FR of the 1400s, just play your game in the 1300s, no harm no foul...  I think the biggest angst over the 4e Realms is just the huge 100-year hole in the middle after 3e. Hopefully this will help fill in that continuity for us!

I asked at Candlekeep, and THO's response was:
"Ed has no idea how that title was chosen, nor can he confirm anything about that book. And yes, he knows saying that tells you he's involved with it...which is as far as he'll go right now."

Announced today at D&D XP products seminar: " Next we have Elminster's Forgotten Realms in Quarter 4. We basically went to Ed and said hey, why don't you take all your campaign notes, all the information you've been putting together for your FR campaign and lets compile it into a book. Show us the realms as you've developed it in your campaign setting and lets get that to everybody. It's our celebration of the Forgotten Realms and pulling back the curtain to show you what the designer of the campaign setting has done."So it looks like it will be an overview of his own FR home campaign. I suspect this will make a lot of people very happy as there's been a lot of requests for "What would Ed do?" with regards to the Realms. Personally I'm most curious to see if/how Ed dealt with the Spellplague and all of the changes made in the 4e timeline. There was a question and answer later on in the session that related to this book: "Is Ed's Forgotten Realms edition neutral?It focuses on his specific campaign, so his individual stories might mention mechanics from different editions, the stories and lore should apply to all editions."
It should make everyone happy. I'm predicting a best seller for WotC.
Want to know more about the history of D&D, especially how to play older editions of the game? Check out Crazy Monkey's "Tour through the editions":
http://community.wizards.com/crazymonkey/go/forum/view/133793/225799/Asylum_Play-by-Post
The current edition is BECMI, the most popular form of Basic D&D and the adventure is the classic Red Box quest to kill Bargle the evil magic user. Check it out, learn about the games roots, and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

Awesome news, Style. Thanks also for the Howlingtower.com link!
The Forgotten Realms: It's an ugly baby, but damnit it's our ugly baby.
WotC, please don't wreck the Forgotten Realms a third time in order to introduce the latest version of the D&D rules.
Give us back 3rd Edition's Magic Television concept instead.

Wow... the first Realms product I've been enthused about in better than 4 years... so going to pick that one up. That bodes well for 5e perhaps, though I've not got my hopes up to much. Unless they annouce they're going to a classless system without static leveling involved, then I'll be truly enthused about it.
