Summary: It has everything
Comment: This excellent new book from Wizards of the Coast gives you everything you need to run a D&D (3rd edition) campaign in the Forgotten Realms. It includes prestige classes, life in the Forgotten Realms, deities, and much more. This book was made with a quality that took my breath away (especially comparing it to the old historical Campaign Sourcebooks)! It includes many color and black-and-white illustrations and maps.
I can't say more than it has *everything*! So, if you at all interested in the Forgotten Realms, or if you are interested in seeing a setting with interesting prestige classes and magical forms, then you must get this book!

Summary: So complete, it made me love the Realms
Comment: Since I started playing *D&D and becoming familiar with the various campaign worlds put out by TSR/WotC, I've always found Forgotten Realms to be my least favorite. To me, Greyhawk is rich in originality, and has a good, dark tone that makes a good backdrop for tough adventures. Krynn is by far my favorite, filled with high fantasy and romance, brought to life by some of the best fantasy novels to grace the market. The Realms is something I've always considered a melting pot of stock fantasy backdrops and super-munchkin character concepts (Drizz't, Elminister, etc). This treatment of the Realms, however, has changed my entire opinion of what I now consider to be an exciting and diverse world, full of possibilities. It's still a melting pot, but this book really plays up the diversity and how all of these different elements connect with each other. The geography and culture contained within the book's pages makes the Realm *real*, the regional feats are a great touch, and all the material in the book works great if nothing more as inspiration and ideas to steal for your own campaign world. Though it's expensive, I've found it to be worth every penny. The prestige classes are, in a word, LAME. However, that's to be forgiven since that's become the norm. Everything else is top-shelf. The book is also deceptively big because of the small typeset and the decision to cram as much information as possible into the book.

Summary: Best Forgotten Realms resource to date.
Comment: I highly recommend this book for players and DM's in the Forgotten Realms setting. I have DMed in FR for several years, and I have bought previous TSR works, including the 1st edition boxed set and the 2nd edition book. This book manages to include the pertinent information from those sources, while providing new information required for 3rd Edition play, such as Prestige classes and Feats.
All the material included adds color and depth to your campaign, instead of the meaningless fluff that characterizes the class handbooks (i.e. Sword & Fist). The artwork is attractive, the pages are in color like the core rulebooks, and the material is well organized.
As in the 2nd Edition FR Campaign Setting, the human deities get all of the attention, while the non-human gods are minimized. At least in this work they have entries in a table, instead of almost completely being ignored as they were in 2E.
Also, the in-book maps are somewhat lacking in detail, so you will have to get them elsewhere.
Worth every penny.
