In my usual search for upcoming books I came across a couple of FR RPG products coming out next year. The first is one that originally listed that it included miniatures so I assumed it was a board game or an adventure complete with minis (still no idea why this isn't happening yet). Now it seems to say it is a 96 page hardcover adventure. Halls of Undermountain, coming out April 17th. The other product looks to me like the RPG team is going all in on the Forgotten Realms setting. Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue looks like another book along the lines of Neverwinter and it comes out in August.

Despite me applauding the decision to release more Realms-stuff, I find it sad that the logo is gone :(

It was just revealed that Menzoberranzan will be edition-neutral and will cover multiple eras. Looks like we just got our first 5e preview product!

Really? Revealed where? This is very interesting though if it pans out.

And September brings a Castle Grimstead Dungeon Tiles set, though it may share just a name with the Shadowdale ruin.

I will almost certainly pick up Menzo as one of the very few 4e books I own, however I would have liked to see something that hadn't been done before.

"Oh, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but.. blinding. The shadows betray you because they belong to me." - Bane The Dark Knight Rises

I will definitely be picking this one up, then... I just wish the title was 'Cormyr'...

Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.

If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic.

A drow city named Cormyr? Man, those dark elves really are overrunning the setting.

Shhh! Don't give the WotC folks any ideas...

I agree... hopefully that will change with the official release of the new edition.

While I support the edition-neutral nature of new FR books, I am greatly distressed by the lack of logo.

On the other hand, does this now mean that FR is synonymous with D&D, moving forward? They said they wanted to make it not just core, but THE D&D setting, so maybe this logo-less presentation has some methodology to it?
