I was wondering, how hard (emotionally) was it for you to sell the Realms to TSR? Also, how much creative control do you still have on the realms? It wasn't hard at all. I was honoured, and eager to get better color maps than I could do with pencil crayons. ;}
I have no creative control, but am always happy to help out with lore when asked. Many designers down the years have phoned, e-mailed, or sat down to talk Realmslore.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 20, 2018
Thank you for the answer.
So, if I ask you what Elminster is up to, you don’t know? Missed a lot after Elminster’s Daughter, so I’m a bit curious what’s going on with him. Heh. There have been a LOT of Elminster novels since then: a few appearances in novels about others, then The Sage of Shadowdale trilogy, then The Herald, Spellstorm, and most recently Death Masks. He's being a low-profile Chosen of Mystra these days, rebuilding and manipulating.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 20, 2018

Wow! That is indeed a lot. Seems like I have some catching up to do with an old friend. 🙂
Thank you again. It’s an honor to be able to get answers from one of my idols. You just made my day. 😀 Happy reading (I hope)! :}— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 20, 2018
