I'd imagine the install software could be downloaded online too and wasn't this a hugely popular item with 800 plus maps or something crazy? Definitely, want to see the Atlas! :)
Very nice, I had that thought at the Candlekeep seminar and it's slipped my min until you mentionedit.
Definitely want to see the atlas or at least a compilation of maps, maps and more maps! |

It is my opinion that the release of the Interactive Atlas and the Dragon Archive were about 5 years or so too early... I bought both from the Mail Order Hobby Shop for 50% of the original price -- and the first machine I installed them on had been recently upgraded to Windows 98!
I think both of them were originally $50, and they were released before computers had become as ubiquitous as they are now. That was the problem. Too high a price tag, and too small a market. Something like that would do much better now, I think.
I've still got the original CDs for both programs, though the boxes and manuals went up in smoke. I've not installed either in a while, though -- I don't install stuff on my computer that I don't intend to use frequently, and since the archived Dragons were all pdfs, there's no need for that software. |

1. I have about 90% of what is published for FR, so I would pick up the Secrets of Magister probably first. Not sure how I missed that one the first time around.
2. As for an overlooked item, not really sure. I suppose 2e stuff that didn't have large print runs near the end of TSR.
3. I would have to go with the Old Grey Box.

I need to get my hands on the Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover again. Two copies and I somehow lost both of them. :-(
I'm like so many others in having or recommending Cloak and Dagger. I don't think a month has gone by since it was released that I haven't referenced it or did any research in it at least once. When I moved 10 years ago and was waiting on all of my other books (which finally got to me), it was the one accessory I made sure to bring along. |

Probably my favourite FR product. Considering how much I've dipped into it in the last month or so, I can say that it is the Realms product that keeps on giving.

A sign of new Realms products coming our way, I hope! |

Nothing in the way of products; just helping out a mate by mapping out the history of a few kingdoms of the North and providing some detail in terms of rulers ala my lineages that appeared in GHotR. It might even see the light of day. One day.
