I played ONCE, just didn't find it worth my time.
Fast forward 20 years later, I'm working at Domino's, and half the crew, including the general manager, didn't show up.
I found out later there was a huge battle on World of Warcraft that night.

Gotcha. I was just referring to the novels as a stand alone, not their effect on gaming. I only read Chronicles, Legends, and The Legend of Huma (Knaak).
Take care.

It’s quite possible to grind your way to all the otherwise premium content....of course their business model is based on lazy people who seek instant gratification...people will pay for short cuts, extra content and extra goodies...

Stealing? STEALING? What do you think I am, some kind of thief or something? I simply noticed it was misplaced, and, being the kind soul I am, wanted to keep it protected until I could return it safely to its rightful owner. Stealing, indeed.

One of the Kinders’ special abilities was TAUNT. I called Tanis a beardless, bastard half-man, son-of-a-rapist once.
That led to a physical altercation.

It’s easy to anger Caramon or Strum, but it takes talent to anger Tanis...kudos.

Its also played live online...DDO ( Dungeon and dragons online) is a free to play download.
I've been happily playing DDO since 2010. Great fun, cheap entertainment. Sometimes I miss all the dice-rolling and character-sheet shuffling and doing math in my head, but DDO has been a wonderful time sink.
"Kobold still hate you!" Lol! :D
