Or would be, without all of the adventures. ;)
And I wonder what they're going to do with Brian's timeline and deific events..? |

"That attitude should be stomped on, whenever and wherever it's encountered, because it makes people holding such views bad citizens, not just bad roleplayers (considering D&D was structured as a 'forced cooperation' game, and although successive editions are pointing it more and more towards a me-first, min-max game, the drift away from 'we all need each other to succeed' will at some point make it 'no longer' D&D)." - ED GREENWOOD |

My thoughts:
1) I hope not, else I won't be buying many new Realms products in future.
2) Cool, 32 pages is a bonus.
4) Sounds intriguing but rather RSE.
8) I think I will be contacting customer service - I'm not impressed.
13) That's good to know (I think).
15) I'm quite happy with the pace of the advancing timeline. I don't want a major shake-up every year.
16) Looking forward to it already.
18) That can only be a good thing.
22) Interesting...
25) Hopefully that will sort out some consistency errors.
27) That would be a very useful resource, are they doing a straw poll or anything to find out if this would be popular anywhere? |

Not sure..... There was a raise of hands but other then that..... not sure if WOTC is going to do a poll or whatever. |

Thanks for bring us the news, Kuje! Great job.
Iīm thrilled by the news, some sounds good, some donīt, but in general, ten years of lore is a good thing... 
I have mixed feelings about the idea of adventures with lore inserted. If it was something little and focused, like Sons of Gruumsh, Iīm ok. But I donīt be satisfied if the only source of lore about Cormyr became the next year adventure... 
Anyway, we know, now, that we will have more sourcebooks full of lore - the timeline of Brian is amazing, a great piece of art and love for the setting, and Iīm very happy for the decision of the Wizards that dwell on the Coast.
Congratulations, Brian! You deserve the spotlight!
Thanks, Kuje, for the news (the good, the bad and the ugly). Letīs see what the future will have for us. |
Dwarf, DM, husband, and proud of this! :P

Hey Kuje
I missed both the Spin and Fridays discussion and obviously I missed meeting you and your matron. Ed told me you tried to organize something Wednsday night I think but he couldn't find it. Anyway it was a enjoyable and tiring for my first Con, played more RPGA than I had planned too. There's always next year though and thanks for posting what I missed.
Congrats to Brian as well, where can I look at this timeline? |

As they where able to show you the cover art for 2nd book I think we could safely say that the mega modules will be 2 out of the ussual 3 FR releases for 2007
If it turn out that all 3 releaes for the FR are there these mega adventures then 2007 may well be first year where I dont buy any FR source books |

| Yes Neri I was fortunate enought to survive drive from NYC and meet Ed, Salvatore, Hickmans and Elmore who I've been a fan of for decades. Wish I would have gotten to meet you guys as well, next year plan to stay at Marriot right across the street or other one, forgot name. My first time playing RPGA and probably will try to DM next year, enjoyed it somewhat, lots of chaos with the con info employees not having a clue as to what and how things worked. Hope you guys/gals enjoyed yourselves and we now have something to look forward to. |

On the subject of RSEs, I ought to explain in detail how injurious I feel they are to the Realms, but my heart honestly sinks to think about it.
On big expensive sourcebooks: I'd buy as many $100 640-page sourcebooks on the core Realms by authoritative Realms authors as Wizards could publish. Moreover, there are many examples of comparable books published successfully, both inside and outside the RPG field, and Wizards should have accurate and specific market research if they're certain those of us who'd grab them up are so few. |

| Even if "they are so few", I would like to imagine that they would say like print only like a limted number (but a high enough limted number where if you had to, you could wait a couple of weeks after they're realsed IE: Lack of funding). |

| To me such a lore tome could well be black and white, softcover and anything else needed to get the cost of producing them down. I can dream of such a product, but I don't think we should hold our breath waiting for such books. |

an interesting tidbit from one of the reporters from Gencon on the "noards which shall not be named". He sat through a seminar on what is upcoming for all the WotC products in the first part of 2007.
"FR1 Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave: Yet another adventure, and yet another part one of three. One thing Chris mentioned about the second installment in the series is that the characters get to help lead a peasent uprising! That sounds interresting, and I can't recall anything like that being done before."
A peasant uprising, with what Kuje said near the Boareskyr bridge?
hmmm...

Well come to think of it, Ed, bless his name, is supplying us with a library of realms lore details at this site. To me these are more worth than the rest of the years realms products put together. I just wish I we could start over so to speak seeing the realms as Ed thought them out. |

| Well D&D has had peasent uprising in at least one of its product, but DM instructions also indicated such an effort would fail because one would be leading parts of a mob against a trained force. I do not recall any FR product that offered this adventure hook. |

If I remember correctly, it was Feb 07 for Cormyr, June 07 for the second, and Oct or Nov 07 for the third. Brian's Realms timeline is definitely slated for Nov 07; the extra material will consist of essays and the like, not "crunch."
Other than novels, this is the entirety of Realms products in 2007. |

Hello-
I was also at the Secrets of the Realms - and took notes. :) Sorry its been a while since I've been able to be online - but - late is better than never!
I'll make my comments off of Kuje's original comments - keeping his - so we all know what I'm talking about, since I cant memorize a 5-point list, let alone a 20+ point list!
I will delete any notes Kuje left that I have nothing further to add to. :)
2) Dragon of Faerun has a 32ish page web enhancement for the city of Wyrmshadows.[This WE will include art and maps]
3) Twilight Tomb: Yuirwood to a glass tomb in the star elves realm. [The other-planar area is given some detailing IIRC]
4) The three adventures that are coming out involve Shar and Cyric trying to eliminate Mystra. First one is set in Cormyr, the second and third they couldn't discuss much but from the covers it looks to be Boareskyr Bridge and the third involves a large red dragon of around CR 40 and a lot of destruction. The second one expands on the events from Rich's Last Mythal. [The second part is slated for a July release, while #3 is slated for November '07. #2 starts with a BANG, literally - an explosion, and for some reason - I have a note nest to it w/ a '?' - Myth Drannor. #3 may be an urban setting, based on some of what was said (again - my '?' notation) and it will tie in with the shades. One other comment about this one was - you might need sandals - which I think makes me think Anauroch/Shade for sure.]
5) I'm just going to say gratz to Brian for his timeline and let him, if he reads this, answer that! Rock man! So gratz! [As has already been mentioned - Nov '07 for this. They mentioned updating it some (for no other reasomn tham its 18 months out Now, as well as mentioning that they will drop in some 'future' tidbits - as a 'foreshadowing' of what was to come.]
10) The Castle Ravenloft module is mostly like Tracy's old module and the lands around it. Not so much on the campaign setting. [This comment is mainly in light of a June release of 'XYZ', which is in the "expedition" series format - which the Ravenloft module is the first. Nothing more was said on this. I am fairly certain that this is NOT one of the 3 connected adventures, however.]
11) A map folio of FR maps is possible, if the demand is there. An update to the FR Interactive Atlus is a maybe. [Judging by the responce in the hall - it would be Very well received. Since I was WAY in the back, I could not tell - but it seemed Chris Perkins - the WOTC employee adjucating the forum made a note - and seemed genuinely interested that something like that might work.]
12) No updates by WOTC for the other continents. Look for those from Dragon/Dungeon. [Ed himself made a Great statement about this - that one could certainly use other published material to detail these far-flung areas - and have them connected by portals if necessary. If you ask me - this was a Direct Castlemourn plug - without actually saying so. Sadly - I forgot TOTALLY about this product - as it was one of the things that I had wanted to check out and possibly purchase. Shame on me!]
13) Chris, the overseer, said WOTC does listen to reviews and people on the message boards. [IN addition - he/Ed/Eric did mention Candlekeep by name. As far as I can see - we are definately considered THE best online fan location for the realms. This mentioning occured at other locationas as well (Freelancing seminar, and Writing for Dragon seminar)]
14) Dragon/Dungeon articles are decided by Dragon/Dungeon and WOTC in weekly meetings. If you want to see other stuff, I quote Eric Boyd, "Write to Paizo and mention what you like." [Having attended the writing for Dragon seminar - these 'meetings' seemed to be of lesser imprt that you might think. They were used to coordinate things somewhat - but not too much into WOTC 'directing' Dragon/Dungeon. That being said - I will elaborate about the other seminars alsewhere when time permits.]
15) RSE's and other Realms changes help the designers with advancing the timeline. Might be more events. [It was pointed out - that if you look at Earth history - things were fairly status quo for a long time, with some - but not many - shaking events. Then a little something called the Industrial Revolution hit near/around the turn of the century (1800-1900, that is! :) ) and changes started happening WAY faster. Think about the time between, say 1950 and present even and think about Space Travel, and communication speeds, as well as communication of Individuals, as opposed to governments, to something as simples as Music. IN 1950, the 45 reigned supreme - along with its larger cousing the LP. Since then - there has been a rise and fall of several other mediums, and more newer mediums currently. Food for thought, I suppose.]
18) Ed, "Steven and I got together awhile ago and we talked about FR and FR and FR and FR. Take that how you will." Me, it means more material from Steven. [this, obviously, was the 'secret meeting' that we had heard of previously.]
19) As many of us know, Ed doesn't have the final say on products/etc. [While he has no 'final say' it was pointed out that authors/designers Often contact him about this and such - not wanting to do something in a novel/sourcebook that causes problems with continuity. He jokingly said he will often get an email/phonecall about someone needing to destroy a building in Waterdeep (I'm guessing this was Just an example!) and he would say - "OK - go to snail(?) street, turn right at 'xxx' street, and the fourth building down on the right you can destroy" to which he would get an emphatic "Thanks!" as reply. While this sort of 'use of Ed as reference' is not required - he does not mind doiing it. He also mentioned that often he will be asked to read a novel/product to see if there are gaping holes. While sometimes he will be able to make minor suggestions, other times - he cant - or wont. Apparently Mythal Bk3 arrived to him with 2-3 days to look at - and reply to. He made NO suggestions, as he was apparently surprised at the direction of the book. While he said it would not have been the book 'he' would have written - he could offer no suggestions that would improve the book as written - meaning (to me) that while it was different that what he expected - he could not find glaring issues with it. I also take this to mean - that he would not have made any suggestions that would hsave changed some basic elements of the story.]
20) More Drizzt. [Someone else mentioned that there would be changes afoot. I had the brief inkling that he may be killed - but this is ONLY MY intterpretation. ON reflection from making my notes - I doubt this - but something base-line is more than likely.]
21) Wotc is dabbling in podcasts and we might see more of them. [Specifically - Bruce Cordell is planning one for the release of Darkvision]
22) Sometimes there might be some box sets again. [At the D&D Minis seminar, a reply was given - that I somehow am attaching here also - as I assume it applies. They run cost-analysis of different product offerings. I would guess that this means that they would look into it, based on a cost basis.]
23) There is a open submission for novel writters next month. No new FR authors being accepted though. [They also mentioned in the freelancing seminar - that those wanting to write in the Realms may have more luck in one of the other areas they publush - like the speculative fiction imprint, or the kids Mirrorstone line. The one exception to not looking for shared-world fiction was the DL childrens books.]
24) There's been meeting to design the next ten to twenty years of lore. Wasn't sure if that was our years or in game. :) {good point Kuje, but I think it was 'real' years. They mentioned that the normal process of creating products included meeting onece a year or so - and brainstorming what sorts of products they should think about over the next 12-18 months. Obviously its not the 'Next' 12-18, but the period after whatever they currently have 'on deck'. As near as I can figure - these 'meetings' occur as much as 2-3 years before the product hits the shelves. So - when they mentioned sitting down and doing a special 10-20 year meeting, I take it to mean long-term real time. They mentioned wanting to get back to the 'Forgotten' part of the Forgotten Realms, seemingly being interested in giving us information on areas less detailed than others.]
25) As of 2006 the novel and game departments are now one entity and so there is no seperate departments any more. [It was eluded that this will increase communication, and prevent any inconsistencies from cropping up - or at least curtail them severly.]
26) They are going to try to get back to the forgotten part of the Realms and detail places that are undetailed or forgotten about. [whoops - see my above comment!]
27) WOTC has been wondering about doing a web page that updates NPC's and other major events. { I also ha dthe feeling that they were thinking back along the lines of when they would publish the weather in Waterdeep. May be off-base on that one - but its the feeling I had. It also seemed to me that some change/addition was already in the works - and it was ust a matter of time before we saw it.]
28) No FR quarterly magazine. [Though I believe that it was Ed who said that we were promised X issues - and that they HAD been written up - just never released/sent out. Maybe a WE I think he suggested. It seemed like that suggestion went over like a rock band looking for a name.... :) ]
29) Pdf's will not be overtaking print sourcebooks. [They mentioned the selling of some of their older items in PDF formats, but firmly said that they would not be releasing New products in this way, with the exception of the curent WE program.]
Additional Notes: Not much, Kuje hit on all the major elements.
A) the first new book in the spinoff War of the Spider Queen series - Sacrifice of the Widow - will be set in/around (or under?) the Heartlands.
B) The point someone made about the 600-pg Waterdeep sourcebook. - A fan said they wanted a Ptolus-like book on Waterdeep - bringing everyting into one place. Eric replied that Waterdeep had been detailed in Many sources before - and the information in a tome that large would be redundant for most people. He listed the products, I think even missing one! There are probably almost a dozen it seemed, not even including novels that touch there. Thats when the 'straw poll' was used - and I'd say that almost everyone in the room raised their hand. However - I felt personally compelled from the back of the room to mention that I would like a 600-page tome on Silverymoon, and that I thought a poll like that in that room, was an unlikely 'accurate' cross-section of what 'people' wanted, citing that we were all big fans. I asked how many people would want such a book on Silverymoon - and again - almost everyone raised their hand, Being in the back - I cant comment on any eye-rolling on Mr. Perkin's part - but I think my point was made that we would basically buy nearly anything. {this is not meant to really mean we would buy anything, and is not meant to touch or stir the coals of the sourcebook vs. module issue} IIRC earlier a 'proposed' supplement was referred to as "The Children of Elminster" = which met with riotous laughter. As a final note on the Big-book front - Ed himself seemed truly excited about the idea of a big book on Silverymoon, jumping in and quickly mentioning several aspects of lore he would like to write about if such a book were to be produced.]
This is about the sum of all I can remember at this point - from my head - and my couple of pages of hastilly-scrawled notes.
