#3 keveras Oct 01, 2008 13:06:25	I thought this is something that's constructive, but obviously... :P Anyway, I'd be satisfied with a new core Deities & Demigods, but so far it's not on WotC's product list.
#4 lord_karsus Oct 01, 2008 13:09:06	-Todesherr, the Auril article can be found HERE. -Anyway, I'd like to see a book designed like the 3 in 2e, and the 1 in 3e for deities, but it's not going to happen. We've been told that the design mantra is "three and we're done". Yes, of course, this is always open for change, but that's the bottom line right now.
#5 Harn_Winterfell Oct 01, 2008 13:14:26	A new release of a FR Deities book would be helpful and useful to new players that are coming in I would think. Fortunately I have the previous ones and can use the information contained within rather seamlessly. I would like to see a more fleshing out of newly added dieties such as Bahumat and the like. Anything that aids the new players in being able to add to the role playing aspect of fairly combat oriented version is a good thing.
#6 markusdark Oct 01, 2008 14:52:44	With the way that Deities, followers and Divine Casters currently interact with one another, I don't think that there will be a need to have a more detailed Deity book.

#8 themantacorp_dup Oct 02, 2008 8:07:12	In my opinion, they have to do a FR deities book. What about all the new player of FR who only know what is in the 4 ed book. (and won't buy any 3 ed stuff...) Only one god and exarch are "described"...isn't that a little thin...and i would be surprised that wizard would cover it all with electronic content...
#9 zanan Oct 02, 2008 9:02:56	Please Powers That Be....Please Make Such a Handbook...I WILL BUY IT! The best ones* are out already ... and out of print too, sadly enough. I for one am not so keen on any more "new" lore on the post-Spellplague pantheon of the Realms. *I.e., the Faiths & Avatars series
#10 lord_karsus Oct 02, 2008 9:40:45	The best ones* are out already ... and out of print too, sadly enough. -I'm pretty sure that the "usual places" sell them as .PDF files. I don't know for certain, since I was lucky enough to score them as physical books from eBay, but...
#11 arbourean Oct 04, 2008 1:25:14	I would be far more interested in a book of core gods, but done in the style of Faiths and Avatars. And if they commissioned the same artist that would be even better.

I was lucky enough to buy them in a normal shop! In the days when they just came out of the printers. Though I got them all from RPGnow or Paizo or the like as PDFs too. Since the latter can be searched for key words much faster ...
#13 lord_karsus Oct 04, 2008 9:39:48	Since the latter can be searched for key words much faster ... -That's the best part.

#15 lord_karsus Oct 04, 2008 23:59:00	-Some, for whatever reason, I notice, don't work, though. A few I've downloaded from Paizo, or WotC or where ever, I'll use the Adobe Acrobat Reader search function, and get no results, even for things like 'the', when I test it. Not indexed properly, or something, I guess.
#16 Stigger Oct 05, 2008 3:53:52	Interestingly, I don't much care for .pdf versions, search function or not. Not too often I forget where something is though, so that could have something to do with it. And LK, it's just you... the gods of computing are not in your corner. :P :D

Not too often I forget where something is though, so that could have something to do with it. -I can sympathize. It's much easier to flip though pages than to scroll up or down, when you know what it is you are looking for, or have the general clue of where whatever it is you are looking for can be found. And LK, it's just you... the gods of computing are not in your corner. :P :D -At least I have an answer.

Not indexed properly, or something, I guess. I've had that. I think what's doing it is that the text is scanned in as part of an image rather than as text, so it isn't searchable and it can't be copy/pasted into other documents.

Some, I can copy and paste text, and some, I can't. I've never cross reference if those are the same ones that I can't run accurate searches on, and yada, yada, yada. No real biggie, though.
