My best buddy in high school was obsessed with the Drizzt books and Salvatore. Never did read them, shame to see it go the way of everything else. I see it got ratioed, are the replies based?
Extremely. Either check the link or whatever alt options like Nitter exist because the premise is being torn to pieces from all manner of directions and it's fucking glorious.
You're literally marketing the book based on the fact that she's Drizzt's daughter — AND on the premise of scolding anyone who recognizes that fact. Why should we care about this random adventuress' story in the first place, if you're going to base it on dissing her legacy?
There is nothing less original than "take a beloved male character, replace them with a female successor and shit on what made the original good" trope. Seen this fifty times more than I see "damsel in distress"
Stop letting fat blue hairs make the decisions.
you lost me at "Breezy" [,] might as well have given her the surname "McBoatface"
Dungeons and Dragons was already gay don’t make it gayer
Love it. It's fucking disgusting how they hijacked fantasy, it used to be a very male space and they completely stole it. Fuck Salvatore for selling out too
To be honest, I'm not surprised about this. I used to be a fan of Salvatore, but then I read "The Spine of the World", in which he portrayed a woman lying to, and manipulating a good man as if she was justified in doing so, as if she wasn't a villain. Salvatore constantly excused her horrible actions, trying to make us empathize with her circumstances. It left a very sour note, and I just couldn't entirely shake off that feeling whenever I read his writings afterwards. And then the spell-plague happened, and he just randomly killed off Cattie-brie, and at that point I just dropped him off entirely.
I enjoyed some of his previous works, but the direction he was heading was obvious from a mile off.

Not my 1st edition Grayhawk campaigns. I'll destroy your ass in the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth before you even have a chance to make it past the underground lake.
I checked it via Nitter (because I do not and will never have a Twitter/X account or any other accounts for assorted social media sites). Yeah, all the comments hate it.
They were decent but not spectacular action adventure stories at first, with the elfin negro being introduced as a mentor figure and being just one of the party members in the rest of the initial trilogy. Unfortunately, after becoming the MC, he gradually became more and more of an insufferable, indestructible Gary Stu and the books just got boring.
I read Dragonlance when I was in 5th grade. There was an older girl on the bus who was obsessed and let me borrow them. I read the Drizzt books in highschool.
I remember enjoying them all.
I went back and tried to reread Dragonlance and I couldn't make it more than ~10 pages in.
At least the title lets you know it's trash for horny cat ladies. Twilight is just one of those words you cannot and should notever use in a product meant for anyone else.

Disagree. It's a bit of a Mary Sue red flag when it's just about the combination of light and dark, but specifically as the waning end of an era it's a good, evocative word.
Insane bullshit slop aside, please everyone read the Icewind Dale trilogy and the Underdark trilogy too if you liked that. Drizzt is a contemporary treasure of a character and his core stories will be right up there alongside previous greats. I can't comment on more recent books though.
I'd say there's potential in this, where an aspiring girlboss on the side of 'good' has to fight against Lolth whispering in her ear. But we all know if such a plot point were present it would just be there to show how she's That Damn Good for telling an evil demi goddess to fuck off at the same time she acts exactly as said demi goddess demands.
Also her name is breezy
Also sounds like drizzt did a shit job raising her because if anything, he should have taught her to be less like the evil drow
breezy is what you name a stripper who doesn't charge extra for anal.
He does basically abandon her at a monastery so that he and Catti can go adventuring.

Not 2nd edition either. Guess libshits cant grok THAC0.

Oh, shit this is great. I love how much people are shitting on wotc for this.
The replies are fucking amazing and memeing the shit out of this retarded idea.

In hindsight they were pretty trash. Same with Dragonlance. Memory, Sorrow and Thorn was a better fantasy anthology (directly inspired ASoIAF)

Whatever you say, Not-Drizzt.

Sad that DnD is now infested with black tranny aids.
BREEZY LOL
Breezy Da'Heezy and the Chirping Hallway

Book writing was always about chasing the trends. They are the most sell out profession, just look at Stephen King.
'Breezy'.
Yea, that's a common Drow name.....
FFS, at least I'm glad I have his original books to read. Not like I'll be spending any more money on RA's stuff.
Do any long lasting characters have son's?
Last I can think of is Luke Skywalker back when Star Wars was good with Ben Skywalker.
Superman, but they made Jon gay.
Batman, but I don't think you can argue any of his sons are in a healthy place.
Picard was given a son on Picard season 3, but that show was a mess from start to aborted finish.
What a fucking disappointment
Breezy and Brie…
Windy Cheese…
Dairy Fart.

Aren't Drow women supposed to be fierce and ambitious (not to mention evil), or is that just Baldur's Gate canon?
Their entire society is kind of built on top of that structure, so yes it's more than just Baldur's Gate.
