#1 dwarf_warrior Aug 10, 2008 18:59:48	Hi there, I have returned to D&D (playing 3.5) after 10-12 years away from the game. If I wanted to get up to speed quickly in terms of what's going on in the FRs, or what has changed, or the find the most recent realms information, what books would people suggest I consult? Cheers

You can check out the 4e Changes FAQ thread here to get a quick glance of what's going on.
