The Vanguard 01-23-04, 07:16 PM	Hi I would like to contact the creators of FR game world, I know for a fact that Ed Greenwood started FR as a homebrew campian world which blossomed into FR game world. The main reason for contacting them is help with by homebrew campian world, if interested please see my post on creating campian world message board. My first goal is to create this world and see if it's playable, after that if RPG companies want to publish this world I would be happy. One more thing does anyone here know about D20 source books for Steam tech and punk

So... I guess what I'm saying is... Ridley--if you're reading, I SO have a script pitch for you!!! ;)

There was a link to his 1st story that he wrote at that time but it's gone now, now that the novel board is gone. Luckly I still have it bookmarked. http://web.archive.org/web/20010821060144/http://www.wizards.com/books/main.asp?x=forgottenrealms/articles/begining2,2&b=forgottenrealms
