I choose all of the above but there is a option missing, which could read as:
"By interacting on message boards with different posters and the game designers/authors."
I love the debates we sometimes have on the boards, even if some people think I'm a real arrogant PIA. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

To be honest, it is a hierarchy:
Books/RPG Accessories, Interacting on message boards, Video Games
I am a very avid reader, but I love roleplaying, and all the lore that I can sponge up via RPG accessories (which I read kinda like a novel, usually skimming over spell descriptions) and the boards here and at WotC. |

There is neuralogical stimulation abound when dealing with any aspect of Faerun. however, I thouroghly enjoy debating my DM, so I chose that option |

Message board and reading old game books. There is also the time spent in preparing lore and adventures for own campaign, in combining what is written with ones own brain. |

I enjoy DMing Neverwinter Nights, myself, and the research that goes with it, me being one of the DMs specifically responsible for providing and helping with Realmslore. I'd say that the work with books and forums gets me into FR mood the easiest, and after that comes DMing the stuff I've researched (which never is quite authentic with NWN's limitations as it is in my imagination=, then novels+PC games from which I draw inspiration. I haven't played tabletop much, due to having no group to play with. |

Without doubt, reading the novels. I had read fantasy beforehand, and had enjoyed it, but never before with a setting so intricate. I didn't even pay attention to the Forgotten Realms logo on the cover of the book when I read it, but I could tell that this book was of a richer and much broader stock than any fantasy novel I had read before. I bought my second FR novel days later. |
