This link shows the map in the product....and it is the long delayed Sundering mini-website.
Thanks for that link, Bakra. I like how you can zoom in on the map an get the details to (some of the) locations.
Netheril starting a war, eh? Well, this should be interesting.
You’re welcome.
I found this interesting : “The intermingling of worlds brought about by the Spellplague also comes to an end, as what belongs to Abeir returns to Abeir, leaving the Forgotten Realms looking much as it did before.”
 So a native Torilian Dhrakar (dragonborn) returns to Tymanther only to find Unther? |

The question is : what is on the other side of the screen ? |

The latest play-test packet (August) contains a supplement for this product. Yes it contains spoilers for those who want to play the game. Also, it has an interesting spoiler for old school Baldur Gates fans. |

If the price is right, it might be worth getting for the maps and art depicting scenery and structures. The latter especially since I feel FR has focused on art depicting figures (and specifically on novel characters) in the past. |

I'll reserve judgment, but that sure looks like the wide open spaces of the 4E format.

A player only gets a vote if they participate in a D&D Encounters sessions which are held at a WPN approved local hobby shop, bookstore, or comic shop. They haven't made any announcements on home games being allowed to vote. |

I said 'cheap' because it could lead people who are disappointed with the 4e FR and that would like their opinion to be considered, to pay even before they actually got to see what WotC wants to do with the setting.
Besides if someone can't play the game but is still interested in the setting, (s)he will not be able to 'vote', unless (s)he buys something that will hardly be used. These people would be effectively cut out |

I wonder how they will prevent people from ''cheating'' (submitting multiple feedback). I only hope that they won't do something like putting a code on the copies of the adventure, which will be needed to contribute. That could be some cheap trick for easy sales... |

I am just hoping that the story effecting event of this is not the PCs having a chance to prevent Bhaal's ascension. If I was playing as a player I would want to lose for the benefit of the setting. As DM, I would be gunning for the players for the benefit of future products. |

I'm guessing it's a safe bet Bhaal's returning. Which is great.
Albeit, it is kind of annoying that they have to kill gods in the first place and revive them a few years later. Feels kind of like exploiting the consumers.
Then again I want back all the dead gods, and for WotC to stop killing 'em.
Very nice cover art btw too. Wish there was a larger version of the picture. |
