    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    Yes you can, by supporting the authors that made the lore you love! Weis & Hickman have new Krynn novels coming out (or Salvatore, Greenwood & co. for FR fans). Quite frankly, they probably could use your $ more than Hasbro. Look for the silver lining. Authors of your favorite stories are no...

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    There is no declaration of war. You are free to continue to enjoy Salvatore's novels. WotC just isn't going to automatically consider it canon in their books. Edit: Though I expect this announcement (or off the cuff comment really) has more to do with how WotC handles future Dragonlance...

    Perfect! You just preserved DL canon for everyone. Problem solved.

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    Yes, this. The problem spans the entire continent, there is no great reason to start in Solace. It would be far more interesting (IMO) to release a 5E Krynn-War of the Lance campaign setting. Outline the motivations and potential starting points of all the factions and let the DM decide where...

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    So all that stuff I have been ignoring isn't canon? Oh no! My campaign is set in the FR, but I'm one of the few at the table that hasn't read any of the novels and it hasn't impacted the game a bit. I mine lore where I need to and make stuff up where I want to. What happened in previous...

    D&D 5E (2014) Name that Wyatt October book!

    Or WotC has been checking ENWorld for title ideas. At least it wasn't Fizban's Draconomicon of Everything

    D&D General How old were you when you started playing D&D?

    I was probably 8-ish when my dad brought home the Red Box to play with me and my older brother. I'm 50 now, but there was a long time in the 90's, 00's and early 10's where I didn't play and my only exposure to D&D was through video games (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights).

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    This is more confusing than a Junior High love triangle/polygon. Except this one is rooted in hate.

    D&D General Any advice on looking for an irl group?

    Post something in the local hobby shop. Ask if he can run a game at the hobby shop, preferably a one-shot. Rinse, repeat. Invite the people he likes best over to his house for a longer running home game.
