| Good for you, even if image posting does not always work for you *G* |

Jealous? Ehh....to me it looks like you went overboard on the Botox.
But if your happy with it, great!

Matt, you do recall our previous conversation about adapting Realms portals so you could shuffle me a copy of Menzoberranzan?
Heh. Now is the time. You can send me your copy of Ed Greenwood Presents whenever you like. |

It's a bad image, I can't make out what it's supposed to be at all.
*giant smirk*
Yeah, blind humor is terrible, but there it is. Now, if someone could clue me in I might, or might not be jelious. We're leaning towards not, since I'm so late to most of the novels/source material it's almost a joke. |

Thanks for the info.
No, not jellous, not at all. |

| Nice haul. But I wonder if the art work on the cover is what they are going for for 5E. If so I'm not a fan. I was hoping more for throw back art. But I guess it's the content and not the cover. |

| Four days. Meaning about a week and a half, if the area shops are any indicator. And I live less than an hour from Wizbro's HQ. |

| The front cover is cool, but I don't like it. The inside has all sorts of juicy Realmslore including scans of Ed's original manuscripts. Is very cool. |

| I'll do my best to suppress my jealousy. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

As was my response. (I was hoping you'd interpret it that way. Guess the whole edition-warring and stuff in the past few years has made smileys and other tone-indicators into necessities on these boards. *sadface* So sick of sarcasm and passive-aggressive posts stuff making irony or light-hearted teasing seemingly impossible.) |

| My local game shop will be holding on for me in 3 days and I will be there on my lunch hour to pick it up. The shop owners indicated they might get them earlier but not be able to sell them. I am hoping this is the case so I don't have to wait after lunch on the 16th. :D |

If they were slighted then clearly they have no sense of humour. :)
I was living in Singapore when the 3E FRCS was released and I got my copy four weeks before the rest of the world (and, I distinctly remember, four weeks before the AUTHORS got their copies).
Sadly, I couldn't brag about it because it was the start of a run of about six months where we got the books four weeks before the rest of the world and I didn't want to jeopardise that run by having people complain to WotC.
Matt, one quick question: is there enough information in this book to actually run a campaign? (And I understand you have to provide the ruleset, of course.) |
Cheers

| Yes. There is more than enough to use in a campaign. Also, it is peppered with photos of Ed's original hand-written notes on the Realms. It's a great book for Realms fans. |
