Is it still possable to use the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3e information? Or is it too out dated?

Thanks. So I could (Theoretically) still run a campaign in the Year of Wild Magic (1372 DR).

Thats great! I really don't want to spend my money on the new information book. Also (just today in fact) I bought the sourcebook The Grand History of the Realms. Does anybody else use this book?

So did I! I just looked in it in fact. I opened to the page with the monarchies. Now the page with the map of old Faerun!

I already need a new one. :D

I have also purchased THREE 3e FR books in the past week, two of which I didn't have before.

I found a discount book stores where I was able to get Silver Marches, Magic of Faerûn, and Lost Empires of Faerûn (mine was missing pages) all for $12 each!

With deals like that, I see no reason why not to continue in the 3e Realms, no matter what rulesytem you prefer.

-Now's the time to get all those 3e books that you don't have. That's what I am planning on doing.

WWW.BestBargainBook.com - all new, and all WAY below cover-price!

They have everything for 3e - core, FR, Eberron, splat, leather-bound, etc.. and even some third-party stuff.

In fact, the ONLY WotC RPG products I DON'T see there are the 4e books!

Its like Heaven, or sumthin'... :D

I go to a shop called Wizards Well. They are selling books on the Realms, 3e books, and the core rules for 4e, which I am not going to buy for some time.

It's more than possible. For some people, it's actually preferable.

That's a good purchase.

I use it for my 3.5 game and rely on it for 4E also (at least until I buy the 4E FR Campaign Guide).

-All that historical info inside will still be relevant in a campaign, when you make it relevant.

Oh I know it will. No need to remind me (of all people). I use it all, remember?

It would be hard to read the Grand History of the Realms from beggining to end... some of the dates just aren't important...

-Well, it's certainly possible. And, if you don't want to, then don't.
