ACQUIREDs!
Explore a wealth of peril and personalities in this campaign book for the world’s greatest roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons.
• Inside you’ll find everything you need to live out your fantasy of climbing the corporate ladder of the most notorious retrieval agency in the Forgotten Realms—Acquisitions Incorporated.
• The 256-page book will give Dungeon Masters and players plenty of bits to play a D&D fifth edition game just as if you were on stage with the crew at PAX! New backgrounds, character options, franchise information and more.

Do dragons have music, and what does that sound like?
Do dragons have music, and what does THAT sound like? Dragons do indeed have music, and enjoy a wide range of musical styles, including deep, ground-shaking harmonics below human hearing (that we feel more than hear). So tend to enjoy deep pipe organ notes and rhythmic motifs, especially quickening ones (e.g. Bolero).#Realmslore

Does the Blessing of the Forge ability by a Forge Cleric affect the Integrated Protection of a Warforged?
Does the Blessing of the Forge ability by a Forge Cleric affect the Integrated Protection of a Warforged? My initial thought is no but I thought I would ask…love me some Warforged!!! By RAW probably not. In third edition warforged bodies could be enchanted like armor; in the current model, adding Proficiency bonus to AC is supposed to reflect evolving enchantment, so you can't enhance on top of that.

But things like Fighting Style and Soul of the Forge would apply to a Warforged, correct? It depends on the wording. By RAW, a warforged using Heavy Plating or Composite Plating is considered to be wearing armor, but not a specific TYPE of armor; IE heavy plating doesn't count as heavy armor (though I'd like to see that adjusted).

Do you think Halaster is a countertenor, tenor, baritone, or bass?
Do you think Halaster is a countertenor, tenor, baritone, or bass? Asking for a friend. @DnD_AdvLeague @TheEdVerse #SecretProjectVoltaire

Heh. Love this. Halaster started as a good baritone, but now he sounds like Tom Waits.

Which is why when I portray him while DMing, he's a man of few words.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 16, 2019

Lift others up. Share dreams. Offer support.
I've been full time in #dnd/#rpg design for about a year now. It's important to take care of yourself and your own work. And when possible, lift others up. Share dreams. Offer support. If you knock others down to promote yourself, do something else.

It seems the Queen put her secret cult to bed
After the King found one too many a rotting severed head
Now all the cult mysteries silently fade into hiding, unsaid— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 25, 2019
The dragon swooped down, all the heroes were eaten alive
Leaving just me, the quivering coward, alive
Useless and craven but fated to survive
Until next the dragon out of the sky shall dive— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 26, 2019
The dire runes once more are, tumbling, cast
But forget not that we read them in light of the past
And so may be greatly mistaken
O’er who shall rise, and who shall be untimely taken— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) February 27, 2019

How do you deal with DM burnout?
Hey @matthewmercer and other DMs out there:
How do u deal with DM burnout?
I write all this content, design dungeons, try to make interesting villains just to have players play as if this was a pc game. Don't care for npcs, won't come up with ideas and need be railroad— Gerardo Antonio (@Odegrar) February 20, 2019
Take some time off. Talk to the players individually to find out what they are interested in. Patience with yourself. Patience in listening to what they are looking for. Sit, consider, sleep on it. Take the time to process and jump back in when you're ready.

Thanks for the reply. I think maybe the problem is my expectations aren’t theirs. I will postpone this weekend’s session to think about it Satine hit most of it on the head. Incongruent expectations can make for disappointment. Talking with your players and seeing where everyone’s preferred means of enjoying the game overlap and create in that space. Otherwise, you can seek other players that fit your style.

Not all tables are compatible! Many can work out a middle ground where everyone has fun, but not always. Good luck, bud! Take some time for yourself to think on your joy as well.

Do any of your Forgotten Realms novels delve into fiendish law and/or contracts at all?
Do any of your Forgotten Realms novels delve into fiendish law and/or contracts at all? No. Elminster In Hell touches on agreements between archdevils in the Nine Hells, and understandings between archdevils and deities outside the Hells, and there are unmentioned but obvious implications of agreements in other books, but nothing direct or explicit. Sorry.
