I loved the interview. Ed just knows how to make people have fun and learn about realms lore with the ease. He just inspires one to game at a higher level. Greenwood just rocks. I loved his advice too. Game on every one. Do it for Ed and yourself.  |

Considering, as Faraer just said, Ed has said the same things in his replies here at Candlekeep, I have some doubts about that.
And with unreliable online sources, like the FR Wiki, perpetuating some of these myths as factual truth, only makes this worse (they're unreliable because the entries can be easily changed and are open to literally thousands of interpretations). If Realms fans want they real world about such topics, they're better off getting it straight from the man responsible for the world's creation -- and that's Ed, right here at Candlekeep.

I would love to see Elminster show up in a novel the way Ed mentions in the interview. And not an Elminster novel, either. Maybe in one of the Dungeons novels with his "secret passage three rooms back," thing. Not have him act much at all, except to give a snide comment or two and then blip out. Like his cameo at the start of Spellfire. Just a chance to see his "blip about and blast things (or be sarcastic)" routine from the other side.
For a real fun time, pair this up with Liriel... |

Since Ed has said the same things for ever, and since the 'too many powerful characters' thing has never had anything to it except in terms of preference for a smaller-scale setting, I imagine not. |

Well, we managed to hear his female voices at spin a yarn, those were most interesting. So aye, I believe he does have a voice for most NPC's.
I'd always been under that impression too; THO always refers to Ed as a fantastic actor. |

Good stuff!!
I, as a DM have always played my FR campain after my own criterias. But it is refreshing to know that the creator of FR(All fall to their knees and chant "we are not worthy!!") has the same opinion of how the game should be played as i do. :) |

That was amazing, especially his bit about the more powerful NPC's in the Realms. It's exactly how I view it. They're to be flavor in your campaigns and not major players.
Overall, a very enlightening interview. Thanks for the link! |
