Just asking about this product.
What I'm specifically asking is if the product is something I can pass, or is it good?

I've been wondering about Thay for a long time. After my Chessenta campaign is complete, I thought about starting a campaign in Thay. I'm also wondering why it's society hasn't collapsed yet. And I like to find out.

| I'd start with checking out the Thay entry in the FR Wiki. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Thay. It might actually answer your questions. That said, I would actually suggest you get the 2E Spellbound box set or 3E Unapproachable East instead. Almost everything in FR6 is reproduced and expanded upon in each of the latter two supplements which add more info on nearby nations as well. That said, I'm sure there are some nuggets that didn't move forward into the latter two. |

| Well, I read the wiki entry and I changed my mind about setting a game in Thay. But thanks, Mr. Costa, for your help. |

| Well, I'd very much say that from a historical perspective, FR6 is worth getting, because it shows just how quickly things change. By that I mean there are tharchions in FR6 that get changed out in storylines by the time 2e Spellbound came out. That being said, running a campaign IN Thay has to be one of love (as in both the DM's and players have got to love the idea). It can be exceedingly dark at times, but it can also be highly rewarding to play a group that honestly wants to do good while still having national pride. By that I mean, playing a group that sees that darkest elements of Thay's leadership, and finding ways to eliminate them without getting themselves killed in the process. |
Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

hmm. I'll have to rethink my position. :) |
