Talk:The Grand History of the Realms

Given this book documents events up until 1385 DR and has some wild stuff in it how do we want to handle the time from 1374 DR on. Hurtzbad 13:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This is actually one of the few Realms products I didn't bother getting yet, because I still have the free PDF copy that was available for a long time before the book version came out. I don't see that we should treat this period any differently. After all, the wiki is not written as though any particular date in the Realms is "current," so it shouldn't cause any problems. There might not be a lot to say about this period just yet, but I'm sure that there will be substantially more when 4th edition comes along! Fw190a8 21:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I bought it (has alot of nice illustrations and page-long stories added since the original pdf). I haven't posted much of the post-1375 content because - I'm too kind to post spoilers, kinda ;) and like Focke, I think it's not hugely relevant information, untill we get closer to 4th Ed.

Would you recommend this purchase to some-one with a causal interest in DnD family and DnD derived games? 110.169.128.108 07:00, March 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * No, it's mainly for dedicated Forgotten Realms fans, it being a history of the setting after all. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:23, March 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * Since you seem to be interested in how D&D relates to other games, you might want to try reading the Wikipedia article about D&D, especially the section on "acclaim and influence", or perhaps this article about the Gygax Effect. If you really want to spend time and money, perhaps 30 Years of Adventure would interest you, being a history of the game itself, rather than a work of pure fantasy. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 13:51, March 26, 2016 (UTC)
