... Which is, of course, available for free from the Wizards downloads page.  |

| Wooly, you are always dependable. I for one have benefited greatly from the free 2nd edition downloads at wizards. I almost have all of them printed off. |

I've got all of the original print copies of that stuff, so the pdfs are just an added bonus for me -- among other things, this allows me to check them out at work!
But I wish they'd put more stuff out on the downloads page... While my own Realms collection still has a lot of gaps in it, it's still a lot more complete than what many other scribes have. Having more of the older lore available for free would certainly be of benefit to those scribes.
Admittedly, I'd like to have more of the pdfs, but it's occasionally irksome to have to tell people "oh, sorry, you can't get that one for free, so hit eBay or one of the pay-for-the-pdf sites if you really want to know about this." |

I totally hear you on your first statement. I read as much realmslore at work as I can. My other coworkers constantly ask what I am reading so I get to regurgitate what I've read thus completely memorizing the material. At least that is how my brain works.
I think WotC should just go ahead and put everything 2nd edition in PDF format and make it free to download. It's not like they are selling those materials anymore. Right?  Enough of my off topic ranting. Wooly thanks for all your help. |

Uhh...guys?
Was there ever REALLY an answer to the question "What is the current state of Halaster Blackcloak?" other than "Whatever he darned well pleases?"
He's Halaster. The mere mention of going into Undermountain should conjure up thoughts of "We are here for this wizard's entertainment and should provide as much of it as possible lest we wind up as his courtyard furniture." |

Agreed. However adventurers are foolhardy and think that they will slip into the massive dungeon Halaster created and not be noticed. A mistake that many make. A mistake with dire consequences.  |
