I am not a subscriber to his Patreon page, but I hear wonderful things about it. It sounds like a great forum for his ideas and of course exclusives. I'm a fan, but not at the level I need exclusives before everyone else.
The real treasure trove for me in my explorations of the Realms has been his YouTube page.
Now, typically, I really hate videos. I don't have the time to listen or watch, and frankly, most of the people doing video neither have the voice nor the presence to do them. This is not so for Ed. Ed, among everything else, is a natural storyteller. The Realms are his canvas.
He has had a few I have found really interesting too.
This one because I a. remembered the picture, and b. loved the idea that Ed could use this channel to talk about things he could not before. Plus he says "Drau" like Cow. Actually one of the best things about his videos is knowing how he pronounces some of the names he comes up with!
This one because I loved the background on this character and was a fan of Symgharyl Maruel, aka The Shadowsil. But this one is also fun because Ed has such a love for all these characters.
That was always obvious to me reading his books and Dragon articles. And he extended that love to characters he was borrowing.
Gary loved my portrayal of Mordenkainen, which was a great relief to me at the time. Dalamar vanished because of publishing timing: we didn't know his fate in Margaret and Tracy's DL novels at the time, so had to sidestep. (And the series was an editorial assignment.)#Realmslore

So give the Father of the Realms a follow. I hope you find him as entertaining and as educational as I find him.

I'm right there with you about watching videos (WHO HAS THAT TIME??) but Greenwood's voice is just...omg. I've heard it occasionally before and it's just, so smooth. So easy to listen to.
The way the Realms came about at TSR with Ed's monstrous binders (if the legends are true and I've read the story presented the same way multiple times, so I assume it is) is also amazing.
