Forgotten Realms Discussion Thread

This is purly a disscussion thread on forgotten realms characters who have been presented in comics.

How has every one enjoyed the comics so far.

Which of the comics do you read?

Who is your favorit characters.

Do you think they stay true to the books?

I like Guen, mostly because I named my pet panther in Oblivion after her, and she's saved me probably a dozen or more times.

...and I don't know how many people read Drizzt comics besides us capt. Hopefully it generates interest, but it's really rather obscure on the comic totem pole.

Anywho since I bothered finding a picture of it... D.C . published a forgotten realms line.

Didn't know there was a comic for it. Is it any good?

Been watching my husband play Oblivion lately, and it looks good. The stories in the comics as good as the games?

Oblivion doesn't have a comic. But the Drizzt series is actually fairly well done, and I think there's 1-2 other current series (not including that older one Cresh posted).

*phew* You already know about the comics... I was going to come in here to justify this thread because I think most people know Forgotten realms from the novels or the games...

The art is awful but its a pretty good adaption of the books and Artemis in comic form = wicked...

...even if you have to stomach an emo elf and his loser dwarf companion 😈

I got a little annoyed at the comic because wulfgar had a few parts were he did things that Bruenor actually did in the books and not wulfgar.

DC had Dragonlance also

I like the new comics but like Battlehammer says,its a little annoying when actions in the books are messed with

Meh, I'd rather just read a good comic than a carbon-copy of the novel.

But starlock's right, I think they've been doing the DragonLance series too... it's not Forgotten Realms, but similar stuff. I tried reading the books once and failed (they weren't too great, imo).

The world would be Krynn-for dragonlance

Dragonlance novels had a little of everything love,hate,adventure etc

Forgottenrealms- The crystal shard(basicly anything with Drizztz) are mainly action focused novels

A friend told me reading the crystal shard trilogy was like a comic book

I have read dragon lance many of them. My favorit characte ris flint. I also read the comcis of them which are pritty accurate.

It's not a bad comparison. Salvatore lacks the subtleties of most true novels, but has superb characters and action. The effect is a very stylized series that seems as much like a movie or comic as it does a novel.

who would you guys say is the best fighter in the forgotten realms?

depends on what weapons.

For example the bests wordsmen is drzzt.

Best Axe and shield fighter is Bruenor

Really depends on the weapons being used.

bruenor would suck with two simitars while drizzt would suck with an axe an shield

well, i mean, who would win in a fight if everyone is given their best weapons?

I imagine someone from Gareth Dragonsbane's party, those guys were all nuts. Artemis was just plan out classed when he went up against Olwen after he was blamed for Mariabronne's death... and Olwen is hardly the big guns in that party (Master Kane is a monster). Other then them I would say that with all his gear it would be next to impossible to take down Jarlaxle, other then him a tose up between Artemis and Athrogate.

I think everyone in Gareth Dragonsbane's party is level 21 plus (one of them might be 30), Drizzt is a level 16 and Artemis is 18 (although he was stated as 26 in 2nd Edition!) so you can get a pretty good idea on how they outclass Drizzt and this company.

indeed, after reading the last book, my opinion would be that grandmaster kane is the best.

heard the new book is sick. Also heard it shows bruenor stalemating a guy who stalemated oblond( orc king how ever you spell it)

also heard the prelude talks about 100 years in the future and that bruenor is killed in battle any one know if this is true?

I once saw a no named character from one of the books who could not even hand drizzt or bruenor even if they were unarmed stated as a level 26..........

The stats are carbage they don't even have bruenors equitpmen or weapon correct.
