Comics!

Ok, so Sideshow and I made a trip to the Comic Book shop (Night Flight) during our lunch hour today. Guess what! They now have a Dragonlance Chronicles comic book coming out on a regular basis, and they have a trade paperback comic version of the Drizzt Do'Urden origin trilogy. Maybe I suffer from a little nostalgia when I think of those titles, but they're really what got me interested in the role-playing universe.

It's kind of funny to think how much of a ripple they've created in the small pond of my life. I probably wouldn't have ever played Baldur's Gate if I hadn't read the Icewind Dale trilogy (as previously covered here). If I hadn't ever played Baldur's Gate, I definitely wouldn't have read through its rulebook and probably wouldn't have ever been interested enough in D&D to ever play it (or at least request Joey to DM for us here at the office). If I hadn't ever started taking an interest in D&D, I probably would have been turned off by Daboo's profile. So, maybe I'm stretching things a bit, but at least you can understand why I'd get excited over these old books.
