Forging The Realms
Lord CrakehallBy Ed Greenwood Lord Crakehall is easily and widely disliked, but he sets a standard that many Cormyrean nobles have a hard time achieving. Talk about this column here.

This is an excellent article. It's pure Realms goodness. This is how you make an excellent NPC for flavor and continuing sotry enhancement, without it becoming a DMPC. Lord Crakehall is crabby, judgmental, honorable, well-informed, and will share his opinions openly.

Maybe it's because I've been spending time in the "more novels" thread, but after reading about Lord Crakehall my first thought was that I want to read a short story about the guy and his daily doings in Cormyr.
I realize a story about a crabby old noble doesn't quite match a Drizzt story in terms of raw adventure and swordsmanship, but I think a story about navigating the roiling waters of courtiers and feuding nobility, and manipulating adventurers for the good (Crakehall's version of it) would be a pretty interesting read and worthy of a short story.
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.
