	Before we answer that, let's address the elephant in the room; he runs shit with his dick out. See, Ed quite explicitly runs his canon with its pants down, and quite a bit of stuff about how common incest, brothels and public sex are have worked their way into his Candlekeep notes (and his official FR games) over the years. Most of it is quite harmless, even shocking fun, but he plumbs depths that WotC wouldn't be caught dead committing to paper. Also, his aforementioned self-insert is so oversexed, he makes Hugh Hefner, James Bond and Tony Stark look chaste. On another note, in the past Ed was a power-trip of a DM whose John-Wickian desire to stymie the players led to sacrificing appealing to them for his own enjoyment. You built a thief? Congratulations, the traps are actually undetectable and you bypass rolling for Detect Traps. Scouting ahead? You get ambushed, no throw against it. Have a caster? Alchemical smoke renders your spells useless.		Before we answer that, let's address the elephant in the room; he runs shit with his dick out.

	So is that a problem? No! Not at all, because Ed is actually the pretty cool guy we mentioned above, and he never puts his fetish shit in his games (which certain [[White Wolf\|other publishers]] could learn from), keeping it in the background or his personal archives. He even contacts up-and-coming DMs and gives them advice, has personally read and endorsed new FR content by wannabe authors on Dungeon Masters Guild, and even wrote the foreword for Zack Sporen's alternate intro scenario for ''Dragon Heist'' ~~despite not getting a penny for it~~. He also trolled WotC hardcore during the height of Pathfinder's craze by writing a novel set in their default world.		So is that a problem? No!

	One thing that may either add to or detract from his coolness, depending on your feelings: he spoke quite vehemently against the inclusion of [[Ethnic Fantasy]] subsettings [[Maztica]], [[Kara-tur]] and [[The Horde]] into the [[Forgotten Realms]], arguing that they were too focused on realism to be enjoyable and meshed poorly with the overall blatantly [[Heroic Fantasy]] nature of the Realms. Having read the Maztica material of the time, our consensus is... based.

	'''Ed Greenwood''' is a Canadian fantasy writer and librarian and a pretty cool guy. He's most famous for creating the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting for [[D&D]], which as of [[5e]] is seen as the default campaign world. He apparently sold the setting to [[TSR]] for a token fee in the 80s - which has got to sting now that toy-and-game goliath [[Hasbro]] are rinsing it for all its worth, and [[R.A. Salvatore\|other authors]] are churning out books in the setting [[Drizzt\|that are way more popular than his own]].

	What has to be said is that Ed Greenwood is a power-trip of a DM. If you look at any of his older AD&D modules, you can see that he almost has a John-Wickian desire to stymie the players. You built a thief? Congratulations, the traps are actually undetectable and you bypass rolling for Detect Traps. Scouting ahead? You get ambushed, no throw against it. Have a caster? Alchemical smoke renders your spells useless. Ed is an excellent storyteller, but like many DMs, is too up his own ass and story to actually write something interesting for his players.
