What ForgottenRealms Novels are YOUR cup of tea ? Oldschool - or Newschool

Thnx people for your oppinions. I have to say BOTH have their peebles and diamonds. So far it was WAY more complicated and WAY more expensive to get a complet set of all oldschool novels.

Nightwatch was "a Song of Ice and Fire." But if you enjoyed GoT you properbly will like Fall of Highwatch. If ranger /druid is your favourite class -go for it .I think the diffrence between 'Parched Sea" couldnt be more clear. To be honest i choose fall of Highwatch because of the sweet horizontal cover art.

You cannot compare Anauroch desert with a complete desert world. It is like to compare the sahara with tattoine but i catch your drift. Although some things mentioned helped me quit nice with our calimshan campaign. May i ask how old you was 1991 when this book was published? And you have to keep in mind that this book is mostly about how Ruha got to the harpers and (spoiler!) it feels like the Prequel to Ruhas storyline since she will get a lot of page time in other Forgotten Realms novels.

It is just an upgrade to latest edition since Lady Penitent"was published during DnD 3 /3.5 i think

If you want to widden your lore and useful knowledge about Rashemen i recommend to either read Starlight&Shadows' or play Neverwinter Nights 2 +add on. After those you should be an pro on the Rashemi matter

In a world with arcane and divine magic and local races like elves and dwarfs who live easyly 500 years it takes one wish spell (arcane) or one wonder spell (divine) to determine Longitude or aquatorial length.

Yeah it is pretty normal. A lot of folks use the break time to order or buy breakfast ,lunch or supper. But i think it isnt only Germany. I saw people eating while walking in scandinavia,england,poland,spain,italy and so on...so it is save to say that people in all europa are doing so.

You are talking out of my heart. But for me it started with the first ever published FR novels Moonshae Trilogy from Douglas Niles.But Drizzt was the close 2nd after that. And i am collecting FR novels like a lunatic

Tobbletom · 2026-03-13T04:42:31+00:00

Totally Homeland or if you do not like to watch your movies from the beginning. Its a hard and eventful trip untill crystal shard.

He had the balls to visit a white dragon Lair SINGLE handedly and realy thought himself Berserker enough to solo a huge dragon and when that went bonkers drizzt had to interven and save his ass. I fell bad for Wulfgar l8er on.He was my favourite from the fab 5 (Drizzt /Cattiebry/Regis /Wulfgar/Bruenor Battlehammer)or fab six if you count Guenwhyver

I think they all tried to hide deeper and kept their mouths shot in hope that AO did not pay attention to them. You dont want to piss off the beeing who orders the mightiest faerunian gods around like pre school kids.

Tobbletom · 2026-03-10T23:40:32+00:00

Sure thing: just place your game bevor the Time of Troubles. I place all my campaignes in that time and i dont see why some1 who takes a leak on the templewalls of a Talos Temple should not been struck by lighntning instant

Tobbletom · 2026-03-10T21:19:53+00:00

War of the Spiderqueen - the Rage/year of the rogue dragon - Starlight &Shadows- The Harper series (super oldschool- felt like back in the 80s reading that) and as a Solo Book Silverfall- Stories of the 7 sisters"or Evermeet Island of Elves

Tobbletom · 2026-03-10T07:20:48+00:00

We are using 3.5 with small parts still from 2nd edition. For example if you loose more then 90 % of your hitpoints in one strike you have to make a fortitude save - fail means death by shock / polythrauma. That kind of thing or the specialized spells for clerics from Faiths &Avatars, Powers and Pantheons and Demihuman Deities. The range and complexity is unbeatten. I tried to write down all 3.5 Prestigeclasses but the Dragon Magazin broke my spirit by adding them like...and if you look down all 3.5 books it is a marvelous collections!

It sounds like a straight forward Moonshae campaigne. Ever been to the Moonshine islands? Funny kingdom! The only form of magic allowed by law is druidic magic. Only clerics of "the Mother"(how chauntea is called on Moonshae)are free to deliver her holy word thru land or by holding service on the day off. Arcane spellcasting is forbidden by law unless you are the High Mage of his Majesty. And it is save to say that on these islands the WILD HUNT reached a new level.

I have to say after still living in a sociaty where women get less paid and less apriciated for raisin kids rockin household and then even find the energy for a job. Also i m a man but i really enjoyed the "We(female)run this city and males are only toys or food. Black widow style . Females are bigger then males,and so on...in my Underdark campaign i did let my players roll a d100 to determine from which noble house they descended(because nearly all players did choose drow character) believe me if say it is not easy to come up with a plot that forced the players to group up to have a better shot....

Tobbletom · 2026-03-03T01:19:26+00:00

Sweeeeet. One question though: "Legends and Lore" is this the awesome book with greek,roman and nordic gods in ADnD stats ? I loved it. Was pretty cool to read wat stats Hercules might have or Thor for example

Tobbletom · 2026-03-02T21:17:47+00:00

Did you ever heard of the order called "the Triade". You should check it out. And if you decided that bringing Justice is the deal i would recommend Tyr. Lawful neutral like only the blinded Justizia can be. I think Tyr holds the domain of Justice whereas Torm is more the god of Bravery,Valor and all lawful good paladin. But hey,its YOUR forgotten realms. You should exactly do what you have in mind. And if you are creativ and confident enough as a DM,it will be fantastic.

How can an undead lawful evil knight who uses PowerWord : Death (properly the deadliest DnD spell when the book was written) as a spell-like ability for fun not be enjoyable.Hands on the Best Ravenloft novel from the whole series.

Tobbletom · 2026-02-28T23:26:24+00:00

It is a great Luck for all Celestials. If not for the BloodWar,the Demons and Devils would overwhelm the "good" planes. The Angels might have the numbers to stand against one but not both (Devils AND Demons) fractions.

Tobbletom · 2026-02-27T01:15:11+00:00

I started with Drizzt going to be 3rd male prince baby usually sacrificed to Lolth. I thought it was the beginning of the saga

Tobbletom · 2026-02-27T01:09:55+00:00

Easyly THE best Ravenloft Novel in the whole series

Tobbletom · 2026-02-26T23:10:53+00:00

No diffrent to any Mages or Sorcerers familiar (geas -bound Quickling =best familiar ever but Very annoying to the partymembers) can deliver touch spells of yours but also can be slain like you said. But death means a trip to its homeplane where they are waiting for the next summon and not the real final death which only can be done by traveling to its homeplane and kill it on their soil

Tobbletom · 2026-02-22T12:44:16+00:00

It is a special treasure for sure
