D&D 5E Who are the famous characters of D&D

[iserith]

Blackleaf was my first thought

No! Not Black Leaf!

however you are missing Shanara Chronicles which was a good impact on the fantasy scene.

Not really, IMO. I've only met one person who ever thought they were good books and I've known dozens who have read them.

Dragonlance was epic, I will agree there.

 

[Wuzzard]

Bob the wizard

 

[bedir than]

Not really, IMO. I've only met one person who ever thought they were good books and I've known dozens who have read them.

Shanara Chronicles is also not a WotC property so it doesn't matter.
It also doesn't matter because MTV is producing a mini-series from it that starts airing next year.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

I’d say that while neither Shannara nor Dragonlance were good books, at a certain age and time, they definitely had a big impact.

Also, no one has mentioned Ridley and Snails

Not really, IMO. I've only met one person who ever thought they were good books and I've known dozens who have read them.

Dragonlance was epic, I will agree there.

I think the Elfstones was a great book which I try to re-read every few years. The newer books seem to have gone down hill a lot though.

The best Shanara book was Wishsong and has the best character in that realm in that book
Garet Jax though I did like Walker Boh from the Heritage (yes I read the first 7 books)

I wrote about what would the iconic characters be of the basic D&D line a couple of years ago.
