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.

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)
