Sometimes us normies need to experience the lore from a different perspective, in a different medium by different people to get it to "click" with us. I can empathize with existing fans who resent the changes. For example, I loved the Dirk Gently books, but hated the TV show, but that's what most people view as the story, as the character, and I can't have discussions with regular people about Dirk Gently anymore because we're speaking a different language.Speaking as someone in their 40s who has casually followed along TSR and WotC since the late 80s (and played classic games like Eye of the Beholder and Neverwinter Nights), I never cared even a bit about any D&D lore before I experienced Larian Studios' take on Forgotten Realms, or saw the recent D&D movie, for that matter. If WotC ignores those changes... well to hell with them, I'm adopting what I loved from the video game because that's all that interested me anyway. I guess I'm like those people who liked the Dirk Gently tv show and couldn't care less about the books. IRONIC</blockquote>
