If that’s the case, it seems like D&d is slowly abandoning forgotten realms for novels and now focusing on Ravnica.

I can only hope for one big crossover. At least to let the Realms stay alive.

The Realms are alive. Just not in terms of fiction. No gameworld is alive in terms of fiction, not even the greatest fiction gameworld: Dragonlance. WotC is now a gaming company, not a novel publishing house.

Hey Krash, just wondering if you know something on numbers... I personally always got the feel that past the initial like 12 major Krynn novels, the setting as a novel line was failing and that FR was selling more novels in general. Not that it really makes a lot of difference now, but since you talked with Ed and others who were on the inside, maybe you heard something that was different than my gut feel. Don't get me wrong, I loved the major Krynn novels, but a lot of the secondaries suffered.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

If you were new, and with all the books available, where would you start? Looking for books in general of Forgotten Realms' world.

Though we never quite reached a consensus, this is a topic that was discussed at length in the Experienced help for recommending FR Novels thread. Perusing that scroll may be helpful for you.

Me, I always recommend any of the books by Elaine Cunningham, or the ones by Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb. Elfshadow, by Elaine, or Azure Bonds, by Novak and Grubb, are wonderful places to start -- both are good stories, and both do a great job of showcasing the setting, as well.

(I met Jeff Grubb at GenCon one year and told him of my usual recommendations to new folks, and he immediately started praising Elaine's work! He didn't seem to even notice that I'd mentioned the stuff he and Kate Novak wrote.)

Thanks! I'll check those out next, once I finish all the Drizzt books. Long story short, I got the first Drizzt book because the cover art appealed to me and it was a very memorable time in my life. I haven't gotten into Forgotten Realms a whole lot, but it all brings back good memories for me. Sadly quit reading all fiction for a long time. Definitely ready to explore more of the stories out there once I finish with where I started.
