And I will start with one event, that has been seen as a ballon of hot air.The current or passed, Year of the Rogue Dragons book series in FR. There was a nice discussion at the Wotc forum, under <a href="http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=528486" target="_blank">Faerunian People & Places</a> . That some people were dismayed on how, the Dragons that are going beserk, rampaging across Faerun landscape...were treated.Let me say this, I love Dragons, there I said it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> , but after reading the 2 page thread, I was so appalled at some of the descriptions...on how the Dragons were portrayed, acted *even beserk* and killed. It was just...flabbergasting. And I was debating at one point, on buying the books, the only books from the FR realm. But after reviewing all the sayers about it, I declined on the thought.With the link provided, you will see the gaping question as to why, if such an event of epic proportions were done. Why are there no echoes impact on what happen. But of course, for those who are aware of the timeline for FR already, that the event for the Dragons going nuts, is a past thing. Yes...it is, but the way it was handled, or going to be handled, depending if the series is finished yet. Looks to be done, very poor.And yes, the topic in that forum, did continue for a bit, until I had to say something. I left a parody sketch at the end, on the whole matter, without naming names...*to keep the so called innocent, protected <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> *But on a more serious note, if you wanted see a world changing event, that flondered, this one has to qualify. And before anyone responds to this, I would suggest reading all the of the Wotc thread, including my tongue & cheek parody, but you don't have to.Final say: I am sorely disappointed, in the whole affair. And yes I know, since I don't have any of the books to go fully in depth on the subject, the outline generated by the discussion, will still leave a bitter taste in my mouth.If any company is going to portray any event, that will have major reperucussions throughtout a fantasy setting...you'll better stick to what you put out, and better show the changes. Take a hint from Marvel and DC Comics of late. But alas, there have been some companies that have done so already...so, they are excluded <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> .Forgive my rant/commentary....as you can see, I am truly wounded, when it comes to Dragons. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
