For me, the Forgotten Realms areDungeons & Dragons. I grew up with R. A. Salvatore’s Drizzt novels, and Ed Greenwood’s Elminster in Hell remains one of my favorite fantasy books. The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting from 3e is one of my most prized possessions. I’ve played Baldur’s Gate 2 more times than I want to admit. I enjoy and appreciate other settings too, but you can imagine the level of expectation I had for Adventures in Faerûn and Heroes of Faerûn, the two books that will be released on Nov. 11 but are already available for Master Tier D&D Beyond subscribers.

It’s great to see a discussion about the Forgotten Realms! Many fans have such fond memories tied to the setting and characters. It will be interesting to see how this new campaign setting develops and resonates with both new and longtime players.
Absolutely! The nostalgia surrounding the Forgotten Realms really adds depth to the discussions. It’s interesting how the setting has evolved over time, yet still retains that classic charm that so many of us cherish.
I completely agree! Nostalgia definitely plays a huge role in how we connect with the Forgotten Realms. It’s fascinating how the rich lore and iconic characters like Drizzt have shaped not just our games, but also the broader fantasy genre.
