I'm thinking of getting The Dark Elf Trilogy, or Homeland, at least. The storyline looks good, I just have to decide in what boxed set or boxed cover edition suits my nitpicky fany.



Its the one trilogy in the Forgotten Realms that can stand alone as " classic " fantasy.

Oh I love these books the only ones I have read though are the Dark Elf Trilogy, the Icewid Dale Trilogy, the Avatar Trilogy, and the Magehound Trilogy.

All of them were great and Bruenor Battlehammer has got to be the coolest dwarf ever

I did some snout sniffing in store, and many Realms books are formated with pretty small font. If I want The Dark Elf Trilogy, I'm going to have to get the 3-in-1 omnibus edition. This will be my frst trade paperback. Big, but so is the print. thinking

Anyone read Troy Denning's Beyond the High Road? I can get it dirt cheap but so is the Aust cover, compared to the radiant American one. The outrage!

How about The Wizards: Darkvision. Is that any good?

I have read most of Icewinddale Tril.

I really liked it I found the first two books very good but not as good as Dragon Lance.

I did have to put down the book though because Bruenor encountered a "Giant Spider" and I just could not handle that again. Not that I am afraid of spiders or anything just that I was tired of reading fantasy books with giant damn spiders in them!

I made it through Shelob just fine. Then I believe that I had read another 2 or 3 fantasy books and more spiders popped up so when I got to book 3 of Icewinddale was just sick of it them.

I have been considering finishing it though after House of Chains because I have something like 15 or so FR books from the SFBC and I have only read those two to completion.

That's the thing about FR, they love those spiders; the books, the rpg, and the games.

Yes I love that game, BTW has any one heard anything about the Neverwinter Nights 2 release date? All I know is that there is supposed to be one coming out not when.

Bruenor has got to be one of my favorite characters of all time, I try to make my D&D Dwarven characters like him tongue

I just exited the drow city and the Underdark yesterday---ran into what I presume was Drizzt and the gang. Some halfling, Bruenor and Cattie. They bantered about the barbarians's something turning pink, he argued it was red, and evenbtually they bothered to notice I and my compamions were waitig to be spoken to.

Is this what they do all the time? wink

There was a dialogue option to remind him he we'd met some earlier game and locked swords. I sensed that would not have been a smart idea, and got his help to kill some vampire I'll be fighting next instead.

He gets irritated if you say that, but doesn't necessarily fight you (though you can, if you like). They're pretty tough, but not nearly as bad as in BG1 (fighting some level 15 ranger with a few level 4 characters means instant death unless you perform some trickery.)

Yeah I haven't had the spare time to play it again lately, I have been busy with school and working full time my spare time is usually spent IMing people and working in Photoshop or Illustrator
