08-06-06, 06:25 PM I hope I'm in the right place - I've been reading the forums for a very long time, but this is my first post.

I am developing an online game to teach total newbies to roleplay, and it takes place in Faerun (partly because I know it so well, and partly because it has such extensive resources, I barely need to do anything!)

I realized as I was inputting info to the site that these newcomers aren't going to know anything at all. A mention of the Weave will require a definition or explanation or it will be meaningless. So, deciding to create a referrable glossary, I pulled out my players Guide - and realized there isn't one in it.

Does anyone know where I can find an actual glossary for Forgotten Realms terms - from the Weave to Elminster to drow? Or am I going to have to actually look up (or think up) all those definitions myself? (Did I mention I'm lazy?)

I'll be able to share more at later date.

I'll be waiting on the proverbial pins and needles . . .

I'll do my best to keep all interested parties here, informed.
