Love this video! Just started Baldur’s Gate 1 and was curious about D&D lore as a whole.
Excellent editing. I appreciate your use of jump cuts and keeping the video under 15 minutes long! Very informational and useful! Many Thanks!
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
Oh by the way, can you name me some forgotten realms novels that arent about drizzt😅
I’m jealous of your novel collection, can you list the original tsr works please 🙏
I'm just coming here from Baldur's Gate 3 trying to figure out the setting of the game a little more. But this is definitely having me doing more towards actually giving d&d a shot!
Super helpful!
Nice video. Well presented and informative. Cheers from Tampa Florida!
I knew you were danish the moment i heard your voice 😂 Nice video, very helpful
Great video! Thanks for the overview, it’s helpful.
It's so gothic stiled I'm so in love with the forgotten realm already 🤩
Thanks for this - your video was recommended to me by UA-cam'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 :(
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.
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?
Would also be interested in this!!
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.
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.
nice video
Comment for the algorithm!!!
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
I'll do you one better: why are the Forgotten Realms?!
It's so weird they went back to the Realms after ruining the setting in 4E and introducing silly new races. It's become a stupid setting.
They did make some wonky choices there, but I don't think they necessarily ruined the setting. Not for me at least :)
Waaaaaaaaah
According to Ed greenwood devine magic is part of arcane magic it is just chanelled through a deity instead of someone else.
