1) Hey @TheEdVerse! I'm fascinated by what it must've been like to have a personal long-running campaign setting become a public shared world. Did you continue to keep your personal Realms separate from the published Realms?

2) Or where there any aspects that other creators introduced to the published Realms that you then decided to incorporate into your home game? For instance, the goddess Waukeen, Blackstaff’s relationship with Laeral, Mithral Hall, the Arcane Brotherhood, Ten Towns?

And the Realms predates D&D (and, so, of course, ALL fantasy roleplaying games) by about a decade. It was my childhood setting for my fantasy stories (fiction). So it "felt real" before any game mechanics 'went to work' on it. ;} But yes, it remains fascinating (and humbling!).

Right. Over the past couple years, I've been reading all I could about your home Realms, as part of a personal project to compile a pure "Ed Realms". Hence a lot of my quesitons. Thank you so much for being so open and responsive. And for sharing your setting with us all.
