Ed Greenwood (born 1959 ) is a Canadian Library Clerk who created the '' Forgotten Realms '' '' Dungeons & Dragons '' campaign setting. Ed Greenwood and Jeff Grubb together penned the '' Forgotten Realms Campaign Boxed Set '' in 1987, for '' TSR ''—though Greenwood had used the ''Forgotten Realms'' for his home ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign since 1975. The spawned campaign world was a success, and he has been involved with all subsequent incarnations of the ''Forgotten Realms'' in ''D&D''. Greenwood's most lasting character from the setting is the wizard Elminster , who he portrayed (at '' TSR's '' request) for a number of years at conventions and as a participant in the RPGA's Living City campaign. Since the release of the ''Forgotten Realms'', Greenwood has published many ''Forgotten Realms'' novels, as listed below. He retains certain rights of his setting, but is essentially a freelance author. BIBLIOGRAPHY

He writes regular ''Realmslore'' columns for the '' Wizards Of The Coast '' website , and frequents the Candlekeep web forums (where he may be contacted). In addition to all these activities, Ed works as a library clerk (and sometimes as a librarian) and has edited over a dozen small press magazines. When not appearing at conventions, he lives in an old farmhouse in the countryside of Ontario. EXTERNAL LINKS |
