Some friends are starting up a D&D group and we are meeting for the first time on Friday NIght. I haven't played since 2nd edition and picked up the Sword Coast Adventure's Guide, and its great. I love how the plot(s) have really moved and changed since the Time of Troubles. Are there any other game accessories right now the cover other parts of the realms, such as the heartland or the south (cormyr, the dales, thay, etc)? Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth there was a book called Forgotten Realms Adventures and it covered a lot more than just the sword coast. It looks like books from previous editions are going to be out of date with the current events of the realms. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks very much!
Not really, at least, not outside the adventure books that cover those other areas. The Tomb of Annihilation adventure book details a bit of post-Spell Plague Chultan lore and I think various other adventure books may have tidbits like those in them as well. But there hasn't been another book like the Sword Coast Adventure Guide for any of the rest of the Forgotten Realms yet (and likely won't be either as the book wasn't as popular).

I am sorry to hear it didn't sell well. I love reading the summary of the lore without having to buy the paperback books (life is different at 38 than it was at 11.) Thanks for the answer to the question, Metamongoose!
