As per title, with many new projects by Ed and others. There's a lot of stuff, but the link to a general overview of what's new is:
http://edverse.officeedgreenwood.com/
However, one thing that should be noted is:
http://realmssecretariat.com/ and in particular http://realmssecretariat.com/unofficial-history/. |

Teh domain is devoured by Goolag.
And if you always visit sites you are told are defunct with JS allowed, you are asking for it, yes. |

Hope this helps. |

Hi!
Does someone have save the archive of those websites. Is the lore still available somewhere ? |

Episode the 4th is now available:
Very Much Here, Yet Forgotten
The way these articles are written, you can build a reading list of SF stories by reading just a couple of them.
Good stuff too. I had no idea there was originally an in between world aka nexus of gates. That's an idea worth stealing for a D&D campaign right there. |

Why not, Arcanus? I still haven't stumbled into it, over there, yet. But what's questionable about it? Sex is just as real and powerful of a motivator for (in)human behavior as anything else we might think of. Heck, since it's hardwired into our DNA, it's probably a whole heckuvalot stronger of a motivator than a lot of other things we might think of! And it's fun to explore that side of people's thoughts and feelings.
Why is it OK to read/game about chopping limbs off and sending blood spurting into the air; or barbequeing enemies alive in this, that, or the other form of Technicolor energy whats-it; but somehow uncomfortable to bring some erotic titillation or inuendo into the mix?
Pathos, Thanatos, and Êros, my friend! 
It's probably because I'm just not used to Ed writing about nookie. It's not something I associate with him. |

I have seen the occasional grumble from you George (although it was very skilfully disguised). I think in this case grognard has been reinvented somewhat to mean those devoted to safeguarding the realms, a title for which you definitely qualify.
Or maybe the title applies because TPTB of the Realms are reluctant to unleash the loremasters to work on and release product to their fullest potential, and said loremasters are just scratching to be let loose--which is very similar to Krash's Napoleon example. Ed's blog can be the turn of the key that unlocks another door... |

Is anyone else running into a 404 error when trying to enter the Realms secretariat?
EDIT: NVM, it's fine now. |

This is excellent news, looking forward to seeing the Home Campaign's Anchorome, errr a series of islands that have adventures on them for a while now as my players are itching to play in a buckle swashing sea faring privateer/pirate game - sound just the thing!.
What is better though is the 50 years of unofficial lore about the Realms, this is what I had hoped to see in Ed's Guide to the Forgotten Realms, we got glimpses of the home campaign (the old maps and typed up notes etc) but the rest seemed 'tidied up' and corporate and revisions/expansions of previous official published works over the last 25 years or so after TSR bought the Realms Lock Stock and Spellbook from Ed.
Great to see other creatives getting involved, this looks special
Cheers

I assume that the Unofficial History is what Ed was referring to. But I did send through something the other day which might be one of the first "fan contributions".

He did say that he already has another FR book that he's working on after Spellstorm. |

This might be the most excited I've been about the Realms in a long time. And I realize that much of this will involve other projects non-Realms related. But the opportunity to see so many of my favorite designers (and old hands like Krash) working together again really is exciting! |

I'm really intrigued by this.
The "Unofficial history of FR" is particularly compelling.
Another thing that popped out was the "All is Lust" idea with THO. It made me wonder if it's more of a collection of "real life" snapshots of flirting playfulness, or if it it's more about lusty fictional characters (for example, Alustriel's romps in Silverymoon). If it's the former, might be a little bit TMI for some people given how people already give Ed grief about sexuality in the Realms. Interesting idea, though, either way.

I was wondering what would happen with realmssecretariat. There was supposed to be a version of Under Illefarn Anew on there but I don't see it.
Though maybe that's a good thing... |
