Dragonlance was legit the reason I thought swords n' sorcery fantasy was lame as a kid.

These days I accept Forgotten Realms stuff as having its place because 5e doesn't really give a gently caress about all the RA Salvatore stuff, but it really sucks that they put Elminster or Drizzit up-front because even as a 13 year-old that stuff smelled like some tryhard bullshit, and I was watching Dragonball Z unironically at the time. Do you know how lame you have to come across that Dragonball Z is legitimately hipper and edgier?

I was too young when I was into the Drizzt books to really think about the race implications, but it bothered me that a race that lived almost entirely underground had dark skin rather than pale skin from lack of sun.

I bet they're like corvids where if you look at them under UV light they're actually a beautiful rainbow of colors
