If you go all the way back to AD&D 2e and move forward from there (including the novels and such) you'll be reading and making notes for years before starting your game. Take the core materials for whatever flavor of (A)D&D you're going to be running and move on with that. <br /><br />As far as where to start, most folks start in one of three places:<br /><br />1) Cormyr<br />2) Shadowdale<br />3) Waterdeep<br /><br />However, feel free to start where ever pleases you. Those are just the most common places. I believe (though am not 100% certain) that the original campaign in FR run by Greenwood started in Cormyr. Don't quote me on that, though.<br /><br />Advice: There are lots of high powered NPCs running about the world. Let the PCs shine over the NPCs by limiting how often and how much the NPCs show up in the campaign.<br /><br />Good luck with the new game!Beosighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021864422345034722noreply@blogger.com
