| | I was wondering what book(s) I should get as reference material for the Cormyr region for the 4E Forgotten Realms, as I plan on joining the LFR campaign later this year. I want to know more about the setting in which I'd be playing. | |

| | I'd wait for the upcoming Campaign book to see how Cormyr is after all the Realms shattering changes take place. All other sources will only likely act as a history lesson of the region, which could be handy if you're investing in the History skill. | |

| I'm not sure Cormyr even exists in the 4th edition time period. I mean, Waterdeep is destroyed and all...

| Given the Points of light ideals, you're probably looking more at a geography lesson than anything else. The society is probably down.

| | So maybe Cormyr is just the name given to the region of our world, and not really where the adventures in LFR are going to take place? | |

| At the moment, the RPGA has designated region names. According to the current guidelines you can run an adventure from any region (for now) which is good since I much prefer Baldur's Gate to Cormyr.
I'd wait until the new LFR guidelines come out before investing too much time and effort into researching the region. | |

| Baldur's Gate is the largest city left in the western realms, according to the designer thing they posted some time ago, so you're probably in luck, Zenthrus. :)

| | South America is Baldur's Gate so we'll see how the region-specific module coding works. | |

| I always thought the coding was an interesting feature. Of course, I'm pretty sure the European regions were pretty sparsely used. I'm a member of the two largest rpg communities up here and I never heard of anyone playing for the RPGA.

| I doubt I'll do the RPGA thing, so I'm not too interested.
Maybe, though, if we pick up the idea.
