Forgotten Realms Lyceum

Early March of this year will mark the sixth anniversary for this blog.

While there are several series in the Gold Box umbrella, only the Pool of Radiance series of games had fiction written and connected to them.

I am much behind on my reviews.

Ed Greenwood has been a person I’ve written about much here.

“You should not give in to evils, but proceed ever more boldly against them.”

I know last time it was another Greenwood short story, but they're fun.

The Lady of the Mists is the fifth Spin the Yarn short story from the 2005 event, published in August 2006.

Recently on Twitter, leading up to Gen Con, I saw a post from Rhys Yorke.

This is the series where I point out other creators that either have their material focused partially or completely on the Forgotten Realms.

The fourth Elminster novel, Elminster in Hell, was released in 2001.

Dealing with Dragons is a novel set to be released on July 29, 2025.

If you have stuck around for awhile, you may remember I reviewed the first novel for Dungeons & Dragons, Quag Keep, some years ago.

In June of 2024, I read the 1991 novel The Verdant Passage by Troy Denning.

I was not in love with the 2023 D&D movie when I saw it early in theaters.

This is an item I’ve had for a handful of years now.

Read Act 1 and Act 2 recap and session 1 recap.

Eye of the Beholder released in 1991.

I didn’t start with Dungeons & Dragons.

On February 2, 2025, my group kicked off act 3 of our campaign in Cormyr.

“The Innkeeper’s Secret” is a tie-in to Beyond the High Road, book 2 in the Cormyr Trilogy. it can be found in Dragon Magazine issue #266, on pages 56-65.

I have played very little MUDs, unless you consider graphical ones like RuneScape.

In the year 2000, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, the novel by Philip Athans, was released.

It is a slushy day in Mirtul.

Last week, while I was out of town at a conference, the news dropped about a D&D tv show, specifically a Forgotten Realms one.

This is a post I have avoided for some time.
