The living forgotten realms are still under Greenwood's control for the most part, and it is a setting that I still enjoy running. Players will burst your bubble a lot. If you run RPGA events you end up with new players frequently.

Ed Greenwood is one of the most humble, and brilliant, gamers I have ever met. I wish that his original FR world was not corrupted by TSR/WotC developers that kept powering it up to a ridiculous level. After I got out of the military in 1988, and decided to reboot my entire campaign with the 2nd Ed ruleset, scraping my world and it's craziness (my first interation was a huge plagiarism disaster), I began plans to run in the original FR stuff that had came out that was all Ed Greenwood. Once I saw what other developers starting doing with it though, I quickly discarded the idea and made the campaign world I run today from scratch, but I got a ton of inspiration from the work Greenwood did on his original campaign. I will usually pick up anything he does.
