I'm trying to determine up to what point the Living Forgotten Realms adventures are considered canon. According to Matt James (http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14568):

Is there an official WotC link to somewhere that states this?

they are canon only if the DM wants them as such.
all and none of them |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

| I was actually referring to the fact that while the authors were being paid, the adventures had tie-ins to the official lore of the Realms. Now that they're no longer being paid, that has changed. I guess what I'm really looking for is the name of the final published adventure where they still being paid. |

There is an announcement to this affect somewhere on these forums.
It probably has an exact date.
Also, at least two of the people who were in charge of regions participate in these forums, so I would assume one of them will eventually chime-in. |

| Some of them from what I saw shouldn't affect the overall realms enough for canonity to be a big deal. |

| That non-reviewed adventures don't affect the overall realms doesn't concern me. I'm looking for the ones that ARE reviewed and therefore can be considered canon. |

I do know that the ones coded CORE 1-10 or something like that are cannon (Matt said so IIRC). |

Well, all scenarios from year 1 are considered canon. The same is true for all year 2 up to and including those adventures released in Q3 2010. However there are some problems. One problem is finding a complete list of Q3 mods. Second problem is not all of the adventures have been released. (I’m still waiting for a year 1 Tymanther adventure!)
The last thing WotC bought & paid for was the Raven Bluffs mini-adventures released for 2010 Gencon.
The list I found for Q3 mods so far:
AGLA2-3 AKAN2-3 BALD2-3 CORM2-3 DALE2-3 DRAG2-3 EAST2-3 IMPI2-3 LURU2-3 MOON2-3 SPEC2-2 TYMA2-3 WATE2-3
This is how you read the scenario tag. The first part is the region, the next is the year, and the final is the adventure number. So WATE2-3 is Waterdeep (the region) Year 2, Adventure number 3.

I hope Candlekeep continues to be the friendly forum of fellow Realms-lovers that it has always been, as we all go through this together. If you don’t want to move to the “new” Realms, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with either you or the “old” Realms. Goodness knows Candlekeep, and the hearts of its scribes, are both big enough to accommodate both. If we want them to be.

Enough for now. The Realms lives! I have spoken! Ale and light wines half price, served by a smiling Storm Silverhand fetchingly clad in thigh-high boots and naught else! Ahem . .
So saith Ed. <snip>
love to all,

LFR canon up until when?
