Hello one and all, I thought I'd introduce myself since I've only recently arrived.
I've played D&D since I first picked up a little black box with a red dragon on it from my local bookstore when I was eleven or so. I've read a lot of fantasy since then but not a whole lot of Forgotten Realms besides a book here or there as well as reading the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide (3.5) cover to cover. I will admit that I was often mystified by the Eberron campaign setting but at the same time it didn't give me that "fantastical feel" that Forgotten Realms gives me, especially since I've started reading FR books again such as the Drizzt Do'Urden series.
I guess I'm more of a lurker than a poster, something I'm trying to break out of, so I thought I'd say hello. I hope to learn a lot of Realms Lore here as well as garner ideas for a Forgotten Realms campaign I want to Dungeon Master soon.

Welcome to Candlekeep! 
Feel free to ask any questions you may have... A lot of us have been Realms fans for years, and we know a thing or three about the setting. Plus, we've got some of the authors and creators here! 
As for the rest of us, we are friendly, mostly harmless, and occasionally strange... Enjoy your stay!

Hello! Welcome to the "speaking" side of the keep!
I remember when I first found this place...I giggled so badly that my wife asked if I was turning into a girl with a crush (or something along those lines).
I thought I knew a thing or so about the Forgotten Realms, but WOW was I in for a treat...this place has sooooo much to learn!
Have fun with it...and talk away! |
The Old Grey Box and AD&D for me! |

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! Don't worry as I dive deeper into the Realms I' m sure I'll have loads of questions to ask.
