Nov 22, 2008 11:57:09 I have the FRCG, and FRPG, but don't know where to find information about key people. Specifically from Waterdeep.

Is there any information available out there?

Nov 22, 2008 13:51:06 The entry on Waterdeep drops several names of important figures. It is for you to flesh them out based on what the needs of your campaign are. Of course there are several Waterdeep products from earlier editions which can be used for names, noble houses, and generally background history. I expect there will be future DDI articles.

I will go through that again, in much more detail.

This series is essential to any DM wanting to run an authentic game in the "new" Waterdeep.

-Dont forget "Mistshore". IIRC the "Ed Greenwood Presents: Waterdeep" series will be around 40 books strong. That will be alot of new Realmslore for Waterdeep in the new edition. :D I think it was from the Ed interview from gencon this year.

-What? I've never heard this. Four, makes sense, the normal stand-alone title series length, forty, no.

Somehow, I think you're mistaken, as such information is highly interesting/improbable/other words, and people would have discussed it. I'll go digging though the archives', see if I can find the video again. The text, I know where to find, so I'll report back what I find.
