“Look What’s In-Store For You!”
This N&W advertisement for TSR’s Forgotten Realms series (find at Amazon.com*) comes from an issue of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comic that was published by TSR back in the late eighties and early nineties. Promoting the various novels in the line, it’s tough to forget that there was a time when there weren’t dozens upon dozens of stories set in the Forgotten Realms. I know some people look down on the game fiction, but I personally found a lot of these early novels entertaining and don’t regret a single moment I spent devouring the different books.
Oh wow! I was a little young for these early D&D novels — but I remember one of the book exchanges in my town had an absolute ton of Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Spelljammer etc novels when I was in my teens. Probably some of them are even still there now, the better part of 20 years later!
@Wolf – I keep meaning to go back and read some of those first Forgotten Realms novels, just to see if they’re as fun as I remember.
