MODERATORS
I wonder what ruleset they'll use, given that the different D&D editions are firmly embedded in the Forgotten Realms lore and metaphysics. The original BG1+2 used 2e which is ancient and deeply flawed so I doubt they'll stick with it, but a lot of the rule changes on the road to 5e (especially to magic) are tied to in-universe events that wouldn't have happened yet.
Feel like sharing some examples?
For one, I believe Mystra (the goddess of magic) has been killed and replaced with a new version twice now to explain why the rules of magic changed between editions. If I recall correctly, cantrips (infinite use 0th-level spells) are explicitly called out as something only possible because of the effects of the Spellplague spawned by one of her deaths.
