I was told I didn't have the cajones to start a viral internet topic so please let the moaning and groaning begin. Also, be a good sport and pass this along.

This is like the Realms version of being Rick-Rolled- only more nerdy...

To remain on topic and from the ORCs overunning this- I am looking for someone that is active in the Living Forgotten Realms that wouldn't mind starting a catelog of important 4e NPCs.

A compilation of NPCs would be nice, id like to see a compilation of events and bits of lore, not just from the LFR but from the novels as well.

The LFR wiki could be a place to set things up like that, though right now it does not seem to have a way to make categories. Or do you have something else in mind?
I do keep a Word document for the NCPs I use in LFR adventures that I am involved with (Dalelands and a few others).
They are of a format akin to:

community.wizards.com/lfr/wiki/Jonster_Y...

But I guess that is too extensive (esp if you want to avoid runing into copyright issues - I can publish info as above on the WotC wiki, but not anywhere else).
Do you mean you desire a list of names with references like a Character Index? I.e. entries like::

Jonster Yate, male human, Burgher of New Velar
 - CORE1-2 The radiant Vessel, DRAG1-6 NIght of Fallen Petals, DALE1-6 The Vesperin Intitaive,  DALE2-2 Agony

I am interested to start this up, as soon as we have a format established (I am workin on the timeline as well, so why not?).
People can send me data (at my gmail account), I can collect it in Excell, and publish it in a forum thread or a wiki page.
I would not limit it to LFR only though, but make an overall Character Index.


Edit:
Oh, and to stay 'on topic':
I doubt the James Bros can pull off a proper RSE, one with gods walking the earth (again) and blowing up Toril (again), and 1st level adventurers stopping them at the very last miniutes (again), without also requiring a new D&D edition... again.
So, come on, Matt, admit it: 5th ed is coming out, right? When can I playtest?

I remember tweeting that 5th edition was announced last Gen Con and the massive fun that caused ;)

You have just been James-Rolled...

In 5th ed, all combat outcome will be determined by flipping coins.

Eh, what a letdown.

I had a teensy smidgeon of hope that this "major RSE in a new novel" would be the announcement of a story where several heroes go back in time, prevent the entire spellplague, and events unfold where Mystra lives, Cyric dies, and this whole ridiculous emphasis on Shar, aberrations, and dragonborn can be forgotten as easily as a faulty memory.

Oh well.  Back to playing Conan d20, I guess.

What? go back in time and stop the Spellplague from happening? Why in the name of the Nine Hells would you want to do that? You want to be dependent on the Weave again? We should all give thanks to Cyric! He's freed us, hes freed us all!

Yeah, just like THIS.  Cyric is a retard, nothing more, and does not deserve to exist much less be a deity.  Have it my way, and you get a depowered Mystra, no Weaves, and keep the flavor of the Realms intact without adding any bizarre weirdness.

And that's how to do a massive RSE, heh!  Laughing

If Cyric is a retard then what does that make all the other gods who have been out-smarted, out- fought and just plain out-classed by The One and Only Cyric!

Oh come now, everything positive that's happened to Cyric has been accidental.  Only Cyric and his faithful (who, incidentally are fed lies, look at his portfolio... sheesh!) actually believe that Cyric has out-smarted any other deity.

Cyric doesn't exist.
It is really Leira in disguise (she uses a hand puppet when mimicking Cyric's avatar).
She (and we, her Chosen) are having a good laugh (behind your backs, of course).
We also made up the Time of Troubles and the Spellplague. And Elminster. And Correlon's underwear.
(insert laugh-of-your-choice here)

Heh, I like it! I may just use that for my sig.

I hearby proclaim Cyric as the god of Spam!!!

So for those keeping score at home, that puts Cyric as the god of Irony, Parties & silly hats, and Spam! oh yeah and murder, strife, madness, and that other stuff.

I am hurt to the core by your implications that we, followers of Leira, Lady of Mists, would utter anything but total truth!
Next up you'll say that this spellplague thing is for real...

It's to disappoint those of us who were excited by the idea of a James Bros. novel.
