[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6694763, member: 5143"] I really don't see this at all. Drizzt shows up almost nowhere. He's in his books and he's had a cameo in a couple of games a while back. He was mentioned in the 5e PHB(and maybe the 4th, I can't remember) but no where else in any non-FR book. In the FR game books, he's mention periodically, but not often. In fact, a bunch of stuff Drizzt actually did or was involved in have been described in FR game books without ever mentioning him. I guess sometimes his image gets used on ads and promotional material and when they make minis, there's almost always a Drizzt box set of some sort for the people who like him. But to say he' "everywhere" is kind of a stretch. I guess it might seem this way if you are really hung up on him and take offense every time he's mentioned or shown. Then you begin looking for every mention of him. Or, I suppose, if you have a player who is obsessed with him, it might seem that way. Oh, and he showed up in the trailer for Rage of Demons. Which isn't a trailer for the D&D adventure. It's a trailer for the entire storyline. A storyline that contains TWO Drizzt novels(One at the beginning to set up the story and one at the end to wrap it up), one adventure, a video game, addons to 2 other video games, and a series of D&D Expeditions adventures. It should be noted that the background behind the entire series comes from events that have been building in the Drizzt novels for a couple of years now. Gromph is a major character in a bunch of Drizzt books since the first ones. He's the one who summons the Demon Lords which cause all the problems in the adventure. He does so because he's kind of angry over events in the last 3 Drizzt novels...some of which were kind of caused by Drizzt. So, when it all comes down to it, Drizzt is the reason for the entire adventure. Even if he doesn't show up in it directly. [/QUOTE]
