That's wild, ENpublishing books are actually pretty well stocked at my FLGS.

Those classic video games do tie into the Drizz't novels, as they are deep background prequels.

These books are Tondro's second project as a D&D designer, and rhe first had even more curious layout decisions (Deck of Many Things). Though looking at other Setting books from 5E: Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica: Krenko's Way, the low level intro Adventure, is at the end of Chapter 4, after...

For sure, she doesn't seem motivated to even really do any interviews, though I think Ben Riggs at least would give her a fair shake these days.

I would pay good money for Williams own detailed account of TSR events.

What I need from publishers is help reducing the amount of elbow grease I need to use. I am 40 years old: I have a day job and five kids aged two to ten. Maps, encounters, NPCs, plot hooks, local Settings, player handouts...if it would take work and time for to make then, I would like them.

Wouldn't say it is "better," both performances are their own distinct pieces of art. But Serkis does really deliver each character with a distinct performance. His Bombadil is disconcerting and amazing.
