  My new campaign is coming back to Waterdeep. I had most of these books 20 years ago, but all ruined in a flood. :( -- Just got PDFs of several of your recommendations -- after a first quick run-through, those Volo Guides are worth their weight in gold. Thanks for another great video!!!

  Forgotten Realms was a fantastic setting. I used to bike to Hobbytown to see if the new Dragon Magazine had come in, so I could read (hopefully) about something Elminster let drop during a visit. I might even have had the money to buy the mag!

  Great video and series as always... For completeness&apos; sake, I would add that the 1991 Westwood/SSI computer game, Eye of the Beholder, was set in the twelve level sewer beneath Waterdeep, and introduced to canon the beholder NPC, Xanathar, the final boss in the game, and the namesake of the game&apos;s title. The skeletal warrior box cover art of Eye of the Beholder was the same as the cover art used for the book, Undermountain Adventures. Of course in more recent times, especially with the release of, Xanathar&apos;s Guide to Everything, Xanathar, and the guild named after him, have had a bit of a renascence of late, but it was that classic PC game, (well..., I had it on Amiga...), that introduced him to the world. For detailed maps and descriptions of the twelve levels of the sewer of Waterdeep, I would reference you to the Eye of the Beholder Cluebook, which was one of the early PC game guides that SSI would separately publish and sell back in the day. Even though they were designed for an oldschool computer game, the maps and descriptions I still feel are canon, and can at least be used to provide inspiration to a DM, should a party want to explore the sewers of Waterdeep. Here&apos;s a link to an abandonware pdf of it, from the MOCAGH, (Museum of Computer Adventure Game History), website... https://www.mocagh.org/ssi/eob-cluebook.pdf

  This was incredibly helpful. The fact that you reviewed what products are available on Waterdeep is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the recommendations on the most helpful products. Particularly regarding the maps and there keys. Your videos are the best. Would love more videos on the Forgotten Realms in general. Thanks again!

  Great Video. &nbsp;I enjoyed it. &nbsp;I also love the dungeons you build. &nbsp;I drool with jealousy 😋.

  2nd edition was by far the most expansive as far as information about the world/worlds goes. Too bad 5e can&apos;t even match it. I think we all just need to agree that 4th edition didn&apos;t happen. Kind of like Ghostbusters 3.
