Forgotten Realms
The original gray boxed set received a revision in 1993 to update it to the second edition "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D)" rules system, with the release of a new "Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting" boxed set, containing three books ("A Grand Tour of the Realms", "Running the Realms", and "Shadowdale") and various "monster supplements", with a new graphic look. Additional material for the setting was released steadily throughout the 1990s. Forgotten Realms novels, such as the "Legacy of the Drow" series, the first three books of "The Elminster Series", and numerous anthologies were also released throughout the 1990s, which led to the setting being hailed as one of the most successful shared fantasy universes of the 1990s. These novels in turn sparked interest in role-playing activity by new gamers.
