Book 13 begins the #SummerofSalvatore #forgottenrealms #drizzt

A brief dip into the Harpers series for books 11 and 12

A fitting pair for a power outage, books 9 and 10. #fareun #dnd #forgottenrealms

Whoops I miscounted. This is the REAL book 8! Heading back into the pool and trading radiance for darkness #forgottenrealms #DnD #booksky

for book 8, we’re doing something completely different and checking out one of the later installments of the “Realms of…” anthologies #forgottenrealms #dnd #booksky

Gosh this book is just a warm hug from my childhood

There’s also a much older game based on this book by the same name part of a series from the late 80s/early 90s

Book 6! One of my favorite Forgotten Realms books from when I was a kid #TSR #WOTC #D&D #booksky

After a real rough start with Once Around the Realms, the books have really gotten better. Let’s see how long we can keep that feeling going

Book #5! Formorians are unsettling to see fight.
#TSR #ForgottenRealms #DnD #booksky

as I’m reading this, some of the characters say things like “who would trust the word of a goblin over that of a man” I wonder whether the me of 25 years ago would have noticed it or the parallels with reality

Book number 4! I haven’t given up on this, book 3 just took a lot longer than I planned. #forgottenrealms #D&D #booksky

Unlike the first two books that I’d read years and years ago, book #3 is entirely new to me. #tsr #ForgottenRealms

Book #2 from Monte Cook who you may know better as one of the minds behind the Cypher System #forgottenrealms #tsr #wotc

One down and I picked a real stinker to start with. Instead of being a cute little one off thing, the Cheers reference was just the first in a series of many many many dated sitcom references and weak wordplay. It can only get better from here. I hope. I really, really hope.

The cover of Once Around the Realms by Brian Thomsen. The two main characters sit before a fire with portraits of notable Realms figures in the smoke.

Considering I'm treating this year as a grand tour of the Realms, there's no better choice for book number 1.
Once Around the Realms by Brian Thomsen - Around the World in 80 Days meets Forgotten Realms with a Cheers reference in the first 20 pages. #books #ForgottenRealms #DnD #TSR

Tomorrow begins my grand tour of the Realms.

Two bookshelves filled with TSR and Wizards of the Coast novels.

A view of the shelves I'll be working through in 2025 #dungeonsanddragons #forgottenrealms #tsr #wotc
