Forgotten Realms: The Grand Tour is a comic published by TSR, Inc. as a limited-edition release. It presents a short, whirlwind tour of the Forgotten Realms, introducing various core concepts and themes, then-ongoing storylines from the novels, and famous characters, and notably features cameos from the characters of the Dungeons & Dragons animated series of 1983–1985, now older.
Synopsis[]
In the mid–14th century DR, the well-known adventurers, Bobby, Diana, Eric, Hank, Sheila, and Presto visit Shadowdale. In doing so, they come across the great sage, Elminster. The rowdy group of friends manage to convince Elminster to take on Presto as an apprentice. Together, the two wizards journey throughout Faerûn, seeing several well-known figures in action. After returning from the grand tour, Presto decides that he is not quite on Elminster's level, and is content to remain with his friends.

Notes[]
- ↑ There are several different dates stated in The Grand Tour, but each event points back to material being written in the beginning of 1996 (real-world time). Qilué Veladorn states that "Drizzt is currently hunting pirates along the Sword Coast", thus placing the comic when Drizzt and Catti-brie are sailing with Deudermont, which is between the novels Siege of Darkness (released August 1994) and Passage to Dawn (released August 1996), placing the comic between 1358 and 1364 DR. Elminster, however, states that Azoun Obarskyr IV was on his death bed, which explicitly happened in 1369 DR in Cormyr: A Novel (released July 1996). Qilué explains the happenings of Liriel Baenre, concurrent with events that happen in 1361 DR from Tangled Webs (released April 1996). The blurb states that Elminster and Presto travel in time as well as space (though this may be figurative), so this may be the correct explanation to account for the apparent inconsistency. It is also possible that Qilué and/or Elminster were behind/incorrect in their timings.
