The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 2nd edition was the original 2nd-edition Forgotten Realms campaign setting, published in 1993. This version features an image of a rider and horse on a plain background on the box. This campaign setting was revised and re-released in 1996.
Designed for the AD&D game, the new FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting is a major expansion and complete revision of the original, best-selling boxed set. This set contains everything that a player or Dungeon Master needs to launch into a world of adventure and imagination.
The new campaign setting contains:

Running the Realms – a 64-page guide to the Forgotten Realms for the Dungeon Master, showing how to create a Realms campaign, and giving details about secrets, NPCs, and deities of the Realms.
Shadowdale – a 96-page book, presenting the most important town in the Realms as the basis of an ongoing campaign, including a new introductory adventure, "Beneath the Twisted Tower."
8 MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM pages covering the deadliest creatures of the Realms!
6 card sheets showing nearly 100 signs, trail glyphs, symbols, magical sigils, and religious symbols of the Realms in full color.
