Hi, has anybody ran or played an adventure in that swamp between Cormyr and Sembia?

Well met!

I did run a few adventures there years ago (the PCs were exploring some long-lost elven ruins there). There is a fairly good description of the swamp and its inhabitants in the Elminster's Ecologies boxed set. And let's not forget about Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave which is coming out this month!

The 2E adventure-booklet (which is my way of saying "it's 128 pages and four adventures, actually") entitled Four from Cormyr also contains some history, description and depth for the Vast Swap in its third-of-four adventure ('Bad Neighbor Policy').

Personally, I've never run anything in the swamp itself, though I have toyed with the idea, hinted at it, and strung together many threads that would eventually--had they been discovered--led adventurers there. Alas, these shall have to wait until someone is intrepid enough to uncover the secrets...

Thanks for the info, guys ! I'm running web-based solo game for a kobold cleric of Tiamat who somehow managed to become the chief of a lizardman tribe in that swamp. Let's see if I can keep it running ...

I read Four from Cormyr, and I must say it adds a very important chunk of lore to what I had already known about from Elminster's Ecologies. Thanks guys.
