Nice collection of Realms novels! I've been reading the novels since the early 90s and playing DND since 88. Your dms resources are very well made and always very helpful. Keep doing what you doing

Thanks for this - your video was recommended to me by KZfaq's algorithms. I've been playing D&D for quite a few years now, but have never actually played in or DM-ed a game set in the Forgotten Realms, so I don't know the setting well at all. I'd certainty be interested in learning more about organisations or factions within the setting, or more about specific locations like Neverwinter, Waterdeep or Candlekeep - I've heard of these places but don't know anything about them :(

I recently purchased the DMs bundle for waterdeep dragon heist, and it is amazing! As a new DM I was feeling pretty overwhelmed, but your guide made it so much more manageable. I was wondering if you have any plans to release something similar for Curse of Strahd?

I'd love to do it and still might - it's always a question of finding the time, which for some reason always seems to be in short supply. Thank you for the kind words, by the way! :)

I also STRONGLY suggest you check out Sly Flourish's "Running Waterdeep Dragon Heist". I got the DM's bundle and there is excellent material there, but it's very focused on one villain. Sly Flourish's guide on his website has been incredible in padding out the areas that the DM's bundle misses (such as the Cassalanters). Using both resources together has been exceptionally helpful to me.

Thanks for this video it's helped massively. I'm currently running the tyranny of dragons Edit: I'd watch forgotten realms videos, help my understanding of how it fits with the rest of the planes.

Nice video. I almost certain that Divine magic uses the Weave too. The Weave is a tool that Mystra create to mortals uses magic. So every magic used by mortals uses the weave. The limit of 9th level spell was put in the Weave by the Mystra itself after Karsus Folly. Because of that interpretation, in my table, all divine caster have a "incantantions" book too, and have to learn the "incantantions" like wizards. They have half of the list intead all, and they do not have their power come direct from the god itself, just the knowledge through the church and the books of incantantions.

According to Ed greenwood devine magic is part of arcane magic it is just chanelled through a deity instead of someone else.

I play an anti-theist rock gnome artificer. Its not that they dont believe gods exist, but they hate gods, serving gods, and refuses to imbue religious characters
