Forgotten Realms Atlas?

**fetito666** · February 10th, 2016, 02:38

Hello! I saw that years ago there was a Forgotten Realms Atlas on CD. Since SmiteWorks obtained the D&D license, will we obtain something like that in the future?

I doubt it - I believe that that atlas was priduced using the Campaign Cartographer software for TSR/WOTC. I can't see SmiteWorks getting or even wanting to produce something like that.

But there's no reason the original won't work with FG - after all, the maps are just jpgs or pngs (or can be exported to those formats).

Let's not forget what FG is and what it is not - its a Virtual Table Top, not a character generator, nor a cartography application.

And remember that Smiteworks doesn't have a licence for everything D&D ever. It is only for D&D 5E products.

Its okay. It's just that I also use FG as a D&D database.

Or, if you have the older book in PDF... you can do some of the legwork. I am currently adding maps, area info, etc... from the 3.5E Domains of Dread to set up a 5E Ravenloft campaign. I wont say it is quick to do, but it isn't difficult thus far.

I actually have that Atlas. The maps are very crude by today's standards and it was rather difficult to navigate. I have several of the Forgotten Realms resources which have been published over the years for various versions of D&D, and I find the Atlas to be the last one I resort to. It is one of the oldest resources so the content is rather dated.

I have been able to find great value in the PDF versions of the Forgotten Realms resources that are now available on the https://www.dmsguild.com/. Using a good PDF reader that can export images you can use this to build your own database of maps and lore.

Awwww, the good old 2nd edition. I hate reading PDF on the desktop PC. What is it like on a 10' tablet? Is it comparable to reading on a Kindle?

10' tablet?? I'd say that would qualify as a rather large "tablet"

I use my 10" tablet for reading PDFs - works great IMO...

10' tablet? Game table in the works!
