D&D 5E Listened to latest "Lore you should know" and......
And I am baffled by why anyone would feel insulted and saddened that the fanfiction he and his group spun and their table is not considered for the official canon timeline of events. I'd never dream of being sad that my fanfic for series X didn't become the official season finale or glad that the series ended so that none of my fanfics ever again get invalidated by future episodes. It's just a pity that I'll never get to see a new episode again.
Yes. And it still is even without an official canon version. Your game is no more empowered than before, still a drop in the ocean of countless other fan-fiction-versions going on.
That'S not quite true. We know that in canon ToT played out between some of Salvatores last books and that the dragons failed to summon Tiamat. We know that RoD is taking place after ToD. We're unfortunately hazy on details on PotA and SKT and since the novel line ended (and probably won't revive with the movie) have to wait for snippets from future releases to pieve it together
That's the issue here. Personally I don't care about my game. I am fully aware that any game I might play (and most of the time I don't even play) is me taking a certain point in time from canon, tell my little fan-fic spin-off which most of the time is not even finished and then mostly forget about it. I'd never think of becoming miffed that future supplements and novels assume a different outcome and chain of events than what we had at our table. Why would I ever care? I can't understand that mindset at all?
Whats getting me miffed is that after 18 years (heck, the majority of my live) there is no longer that new FR novel available (or being available soon) for me to read. That sucks.

So now I have caught up with the whole Podcast it seems that what [MENTION=6689493]Eubani[/MENTION] said in his OP is pretty accurate.
If anything what I gathered from Chris was that he is tired of going back to reread old books and wants to start to make some new stories.

It depends. Ed Greenwood thinks that it's unlikely that the novel line will be restarted, unless 1)the movie does really well 2)an eventual novelization of the movie also does well.

The novel line being licensed out to The Ed Greenwood's Group is actually the best outcome in my mind, so I really hope that it'll happen.

I just want to say that I'm also glad that there's no more FR cannon by default in D&D, and that they're publishing frequent AP for us to play, with the necessary lore for each story. (except I can't write it as nicely as many other posters).
In fact, when I started CoS I told my players that they were travelling from Neverwinter to... another famous city in the realms (can't remember) it annoyed me that the two older players started deducting all kinds of stuff from their previous knowledge about those cities.
Each Forgotten Realms in a new game is a new Forgotten Realms. I'm happy with that.
