In a post changed world I would think so many little nuances would be affected from our daily lives. You couldn't capture all of it, but with just one person, it would be very interesting to follow. You could keep this idea fresh just by changing the books narrator, for example a doctor, a boy, or a news anchor...ect. I definitely think I want to pick this up and give it a go!

For me, that's mainly just following book reviewers. I'd love to hear other ways in which people use it!

Getting into the heads of these characters will benefit any reader, as the forgotten realms universe spans multiple worlds and even under worlds. There is something for everyone as well as an easy understanding how to role play. Especially if your interested in getting involved in a Dungeons and Dragons game.
