Forum:New to the Realms: Where to Start

I recently started playing in some local LFR games and realized I know little to nothing about the Forgotten Realms. I read the first six Drizz't books a while back but that's it. Is there a (relatively) brief summary somewhere? I realize there's a TON of info out there and I just need a place to start. If a particular book or book series is really important, please let me know but that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help.

Hi there. Sorry you haven't got a reply to this, there aren't THAT many people around here at the moment. And I'm also sorry to say I can't help you much, but I would advise to read around on here. There must be lots of background info in the campaign setting books? I'm afraid I learned most of what I know from here, or Baldur's Gate! Owdar 23:13, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
