He's mentioned in the past that he's been a consultant of sorts on video games set in FR like BG, IWD, NWN but typically he does something very minor like writes one of those lore dump books you randomly find throughout the games.
I wonder if perhaps this was his contribution to BG3.

Is he going to post furry and scaly content on youtube now? That is what the Forgotten Realms seems to be about these days. Unless you're a squirrel of course.

Nuts, specifically of the deez variety.

I take as much umbrage with what he writes as with how he writes it. I read many Forgotten Realms books in my teens and I still have about forty of them. Greenwood's drivel was by far the worst of the lot. Compared to R.A. Salvatore's or Troy Denning's outings almost unreadable, neither of them a great writer but especially the latter I would consider a very competent storyteller. Greenwood just prattles on to fill the pages with characters and situations neither convincing nor interesting. He's a prototype of this and even kind of looks the part:

It was always gay. TSR just suppressed a portion of the degeneracy when it had it. Now WotC is letting it all out again.
Dude, wotc haven't published any FR novels other than drizzt crap for 5 years. And even drizzt crap was passed over to some generalist publisher and no longer bears any FR or D&D logos on it. FR is dead.
He says Elminster did it first.

Well, his deal isn't just for novels but also game books. He most recently coauthored Thay Land of Red Wizards" in 2022

Yes, TSR heavily sanitized Ed Greenwood's Forgotten Realms setting, which he used as a vehicle for expressing his sexual fetishes, which nonetheless occasionally came through in certain TSR products, such as a passing reference to dwarven rape fantasies in the Greenwood-authored FR11 Dwarves Deep. Aside from that issue, the Forgotten Realms has always been an extremely generic fantasy setting, without offering anything of value. It's a terrible pity that TSR selected it as the replacement for Greyhawk as the standard, default AD&D campaign setting, following Gary Gygax's ouster from TSR in October 1985. After the demise of TSR in 1997, it was inevitable that Ed Greenwood's fetishes would gradually be (re-)introduced into the setting.

Men abandoning their duties because they like wine, women or both are a common topic in the series. One of these stories involves a shy, nerd, literally neckbearded fat guy getting to fuck a cute girl too.

"Prostitution is a core industry of the Forgotten Realms; "sex workers" are all over and there are about 40 different names for different kinds of prostitutes."
That's a lot more than you can find on the old table

I understand you fine fellows understand Mr. G has a Patreon as well?
Ao the Overgod is lawful neutral as he is not evil nor good yet believes strongly in law. His children, Selune and Shar are respectively chaotic good and neutral evil. The first opposes law yet is good, the second opposes good yet does not follow neither chaos nor law.The Primordial Energies are the Elements and Quasi-Elements as well as the Positive and Negative Energies as the Energies manifest in the Cosmology. Not only the Material Plane yet all planes. Magic allows tapping into and harnessing the Primordial Energies. (Avalanche - Ice Energy, Sea current - Water Energy) The Weave is not Magic itself. The Weave is a binding upon Magic to disallow both mortals and deities from using it to it's full extent. Essentially, becoming equal to Ao the Overgod whom was wroth with Selune and Shar for fighting against each other and creating Mystryl. And Mystryl was chosen as the keeper of the Weave in order for order to exist once again. And so, the Weave is an orderly, organised view and access of the Primordial Energies.The Phlogiston preceedes the Primordial Energies and that is where Ao created the Energies that breathed life into Selune and Shar whom created the Crystal Spheres.
