Any old AD&D/3e players on here remember the books in their heyday? Not the campaign books, the novels and series. Some of them are still running. Salvatore's Drizzt, novels especially. I read a lot and look at a lot of lists to find new and old reads. I noticed that lists tend to leave off a lot of great books from that vein of world building. Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance series had some really great stuff. Were they as good as I remember or is it a sentimental attachment thing? Personally, I feel like they need more love. Thoughts?

I collect the old Monster Manuals and Manuals of the planes.
the new Film should have been set in Concordant Opposition…instant travelogue-based exposition with someone from Sigil acting as a Virgil to the Dante-type heroes.
Entities from all the Planes have been summoned…

I can't recall much because i was a young kid at the time in the mid/late 80s but a 5 minutes away some guys had a gaming club and when i found out i joined, couldn't have been older than 11 or 12.
Board games, tabletop games, junk food for cheap and roleplaying games - it was heaven
I remember though that i leafed through the books and was fascinated by all the monsters and the pictures. It was the start of lifelong gaming, even if i made a pause all throughout my teenage years but around 17/18 i picked up pen & paper roleplaying again and was happy with it all throughout my 20s and into my early 30s.
Happy times - so many cool weekends, meeting new people ( even got a girlfriend or two through that hobby) and going to conventions!

Salvatore did a decent job continuing on with Drizzt but trying to shoehorn in the worldbuilding from 4th Edition of Forgotten Realms and then the Fifth Edition has some of it bouncing around a lot. And then Wizards basically stopped doing novels a few years ago entirely.
The Crystal Shard series and the Underdark origin series by Salvatore are still fantastic.
