I have a set of Core rule books and that is about it. What resources, aside from the boxed set, would you say is essential to running a GOOD FR game in 2e? WHat I am looking for are: Kits Monsters NPCs Adventures Supplements (general, non regional) THanks in advance... Oh and if I have FR Adventures do I NEED the Deities books? Jason
Mr. FIXIT 03-15-05, 10:14 PM	do I NEED the Deities books? I would say that the 2e deities books are a worthwhile addition to any game set in the forgotten realms, regardless of what edition one might use. These books contain a huge amount of background material.
