I must say (sadly) that I will have to take a step back from now on: whereas I previously said "I will not buy 4E Core but will still buy anything with a FR logo on it", I must now revise my statement to "I will not buy 4E Core but *might* buy FR if the content/quality is commensurate to a true FR product."
Currently, I have the opposite reaction, I'm a lot more excited by core 4E than the "new Realms". |

Well put Warrax.

Hmm, if you love FR, I would think that the most important purchase you make is the next one - on a continuing basis.
But please, do buy GHotR - I'm eagerly loooking forward to the feedback.

Hate to be a stickler but I think that the quote is very much mutable.

Some of the examples revealed by WotC for historical Realms events were very interesting. Instead of just a short sentence blurb you get a story. Good stuff. I will buy it when the time is right... Or when I have money.  |

That being said, I'll be buying GHotR...because I want it, not because I feel obligated to buy it.
And yes, I've noticed the artwork elsewhere before, even though it is nice.
RF, you made me use the dictionary  and I don't think you are being one

Aww, well thank you. I do think I sometimes have a bit of sourpuss in me though... |

I'll definitely be buying it, too. I've been a fan of the Grand History ever since I first stumbled across the pdf, several years ago... In fact, I've turned more than a few people onto it. It's entirely possible that whoever posted the link that brought it to WotC attention had gotten the link from me, originally. At least, that's the way I prefer to look at it. |

Certainly going to buy it, though I do have to say that the artwork shown was previously used in Champions of Valour. It's one that's good enough to be used again, for sure, but I do hope that we don't have too many repeated pieces of artwork. |

I am going to be able to do soooo much with this book. It'll be like having a super-copy of Lost Empires of Faerûn, but without any crunchy bits. |
