How many years, Realms time, have passed since they were written? I assume a decade or so? Apologies if this has been asked recently and thanks to those who answer.
Dargoth 11-12-05, 05:24 PM	Do you mean relife Volos guides that where produced as source books or Volos guides that his published IN the realms. There are more of the later than the former
Nitan 11-12-05, 05:30 PM	Real life ones, ones I could actually read please. :)

Nitan 11-12-05, 05:55 PM	Many thanks!

Nitan 11-12-05, 07:08 PM	Actually, care to name some books Volo has written that aren't available, as in the ones published in the Realms?

They are listed as Volo's Guide to whatever.

Old Sage 11-12-05, 09:13 PM	Appropriately amended ;).
Nitan 11-12-05, 10:02 PM	Suppose those will ever be released? :) Even a tiny, tiny chance?
Kuje31 11-12-05, 10:18 PM	Suppose those will ever be released? :) Even a tiny, tiny chance? HAHAHA. HAHAH. :D
Old Sage 11-12-05, 11:45 PM	HAHAHA. HAHAH. :D::Takes a few moments to echo Kuje's cackling:: ;)
