Olore, Great Sage! When can we expect the 5E #forgottenrealms campaign setting? We have all been holding our breath for a proper, up-to-date Faerûn book for almost five years now… ccI honestly have no idea. The current Wizards approach of crafting mega-campaigns set in the Realms and letting the setting grow organically as it heads into the 1500s DR seems to be working very well, though. I would love one, but then, I'd love it to be 25 fat volumes long. ;}

I think I’ve got a solution:
– We the fans crowdsource money for your life extension treatments as they become available;
– You outlive the copyright restrictions (should be ~57 years or so);
– The 25-volume edition of the campaign setting sees the light of the day for real! 😀 Heh. I've investigated lichdom, but there seem to be ethical problems as well as a huge expense. It might be simpler to just crowdsource me several trillions for me to buy Hasbro, so I can put the product on the schedule. Then again, be careful what you ask for…I'm a wizard, ..— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 22, 2019
…but NOT a financial wizard.
Seriously, the Realms is in VERY good hands right now. I am delighted by the 5e products, and await them eagerly, Realms or non-Realms. Now, if I could only get my hands on those big 5-sheet Gale Force 9 Waterdeep maps…— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 22, 2019
