Drizz’t and Co. will feature in the Upcoming DnD Encyclopedia

I’m a baby librarian, and this year I finally had enough of a Real Job to attend ALA. The marketplace floor includes lots of upcoming/newly released book signings, and while the encyclopedia is not out yet I was able to talk a bit with two of the authors, Michael Witwer and Kalysta. (I got autographs too, but they’re hidden because I don’t want the wider internet knowing my government name.)

I mentioned a lifelong love of DK products and how I’m currently reading through the Drizz’t series, and Michael talked about how he worked on the Visual Dictionary and encouraged me to check it out! He also mentioned that Drizz’t, Cattie Brie, and Bruenor at least would feature in the encyclopedia.

I know that’s probably obvious to a lot of people here, but I just wanted to share. Micheal in particular seemed like a huge fan of the series and excited to do further artwork for it.

Homeland EXPLAINED

Drawing I made explaining the plot of "Homeland" to my boyfriend (tagged as meme because I don't want to risk overshadowing any better fanworks)

FINALLY

Reading The Orc King and MY GOODNESS FINALLY. I admit I am a shipper in fiction overall, and I was ready for Drizzt x Cattie-Brie since somewhere in IceWind Dale (after I found out the age thing was a retcon... it worried me for a hot second) and IT TOOK LIKE 15 BOOKS BUT IT HAS HAPPENED. THE SHIP HAS SAILED!!! I smiled so big at my tiny phone ereader screen and shook it like a little doll.

Wulfgar's response was good too, and I'm excited to see where he goes from here if he doesn't just leave the story for good (and I doubt Wizards would allow him to) so know I am NOT against Wulfgar... I just had my OTP and stuck to it lol.

I prefer elves and agile fighters to barbarian-types overall. Wulfgar is great for what he is, he's just not a type of character I usually care much for compared to Drizzt and Cattie-Brie, who are both chock-full of tropes I enjoy.

That is all- I don't really have anyone in my life IRL who cares much for this series (and one old-school Grognard who just hates the Realms overall and thinks all things DnD should return to Greyhawk, and who I was in a room with when I read that section) so I had to tell someone who'd actually care... but yeah the ship has finally sailed! Now we can get to THE ACTUAL WAR THAT IS HAPPENING lol

EDIT: I know I sound immature here, and I promise I am an actual adult, but sometimes fiction gives me the warm fuzzies :3

ETA: wow... people really like this post. Uh, thanks, I guess. I didn't expect a post amounting to "yay, I found a 15+ year old ship" to get this much traction...

Obligatory "I found the old cover art books"

But really, they are both in crazy good condition. Hardly any spine or cover damage, so I think they were both read maybe once.

Descriptions & stakes in "Legacy"

I'm on my first reading of the Drizzt books (but a longtime FR fan and DnD player) and am finishing Legacy in the next day or two. I feel like there are two changes from the previous Drizzt books I've read: the stakes feel higher and the descriptions of injury seem more vivid and creative. Not that they weren't fantatsic in earlier books, but I'm wincing or gasping a lot more with Legacy.

I'm curious if Legacy *is* that different or if it's just me. I'm also curious if something happened during/before the writing of this one, that freed Salvatore to push the limits. I checked the archives of the sub and didn't see any info and I didn't go looking elsewhere, since I thought it would be a good topic to get opinions on here.

I tagged as "spoilers" so folks can talk freely. I have a chapter and the epilogue to go, and I know there will be at least one more big gasp moment before I'm done, but I couldn't wait to talk about it another day.

Fix It... I Beg You... :(

SPOILER ALERT FOR LLOTH'S WARRIOR

I just finally got to finish the book Lloth's Warrior, and all I can say is this:

Mr Salvatore, I love you Legend of Drizzt novels, and hope you keep writing about these beloved characters for many years to come, but, with all due respect, if>! Kimmuriel does not come back, I will riot.!< LOL!

Seriously, though, am I the only person who's read Lloth's Warrior and who feels this way? I can't be alone on this, right?
