This opened a mental door!D&D novels as canon.
I almost never buy & read fiction I know to be based on RPGs or most “geeky” TV shows or movies. (I do watch some tv & movies based on geeky stories, though.)
The only exceptions I can recall:
1) I have read short fiction published in gaming magazines.
2) I bought the novelization of Star Wars many months before I saw the movie,
3) I bought a StarTrek novel, Dreadnaught. I found it forgettable.
4) I’ve read the Wildcards short stories.
So when people- especially players- start talking about canon from anything other than actual game supplements, they’re not going to like my answer, “Never read it, so assume it didn’t happen that way.”
