apparently it happened like 2 years ago but I just found out. I never finished the Drizzt books, but it kinda sucks to know it's just over now. Saw someone on reddit saying that it had to with Hasbro owning part of the copyright and for some reason telling Wizards of the Coast to stop writing books. that was a part of my childhood and now it's just over wtf

yea. you know the game Baldur's Gate? that's based on a setting called Forgotten Realms. and there was like 100 Forgotten Realms novels written over like 30 years or more. ever heard of the dark elf ranger, Drizzt Do'Urden? he's their most famous character

it all has to do with Hasbro

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/77bffb/what_wizards_of_the_coast_and_tsr_did_to/

they got mad for some reason and demanded an end to the books

I haven't read any of that stuff in years but I hate when something from my childhood ends.

it was the last one apparently. "Hero"? I was looking at a list of FR novels published in order. and Hero is the final one for the entire product line. not just Drizzt but that whole world

This reminds me that I still need to finish the first Drizzt Trilogy.

They're OK books for what they are. I wish I would have found them years ago before my taste in writing grew more refined I guess.

Being a player and fan of D&D, I do enjoy some of these novels
