What is a Living Campaign?

The Living Forgotten Realms campaign is an immense game played out in events throughout the real world. It is sanctioned by Wizard's Role-Playing Group Association (RPGA). It has a membership of over 3000 participants.

The continent of Faerun in the game world is divided into several nations and political states. These nations are mapped onto sections of the real world for purposes of administration. Each region has a special flavor setting it apart from other regions, allowing you to immerse yourself in the intrigues of you home region, or join the turmoil in other regions.
