Could someone provide me offical 2nd Edition stats for Drizzt Do'Urden or his friends? Also, if there is no legal way for you guys to do this, could I be provided with a link to another site? Remember: 2ND EDITION!!! |

I guess it all depends on what mood the Wizards who hail from the Coast are in. |

My only problem is I've seen some authors hanged in effigy for not following the rules while others seem to get a free pass. |

Has there ever been any justification for Drizzt using his darkness ability multiple times a day? |

I want to thank all of you for all of the information and links you have supplied me. |

Thank you for the link. Now, when does the Thousand Orcs take place? |

Marco Volo was an imposter, using and abusing Volothamp Geddarm's (almost) good name. The latter is a wonderful source of Realmslore, when he's not on the run. 
And I'd have to check, but I believe that 1297 was the year of Drizzt's birth. |

Alright, Tethoril. Okay, what is some stuff that people know about Drizzt? Like, what year was he born, when did he go to the surface, does he have a favorite food, etc.?
Isn't 1297 DR his birth? As for favorite food, I'm not sure. Perhaps one day there will be Drizzt: The Unauthorized Biography by Volo that will reveal many of these details. |

Oh, sorry there folk, forgot how long this blasted staff was.  Please return to the topic or allow this scroll to fade into the shelves of the library. |

Sorry, but to my knowledge, though this varies, that would be too large amount of copyrighted information to post.
I think RPGNOW has it available for download if you are interested in that.
The thing is, I'm a freshman without a job. In other words...I'm broke |

Even more reason to have something in email from a moderator on what can or can't be posted. This way if people start to voice concerns you have something to back up that you can post whatever you did. |

Best way to determine that would be to contact one of the moderators. I know what I've been told privately in an email on what can be posted and how much, and I know what I've seen. Thus, I'd check with them before listening to anyone else on here. |

Yes, as I recall wasn't TSR and its online coordinator in the mid 90s or so very fanatic with certain information being online? Not sure, but I seem to recall something like that when I was on the FR Mailing list way back then.
So I've heard... I don't know for certain, though, as I was justing venturing on-line for the first time in the mid- to late 90's. It was a couple years before I even found the Wizards website, and I didn't get into on-line communities other than Livejournal until about a year or so ago. |

Thank for your, as usual, kindness, SiriusBlack. I recognize that when i read all the contributions that people as you, The Sage, Sarta or Bookwyrm do i feel overwhelmed cause my knowledge is not so vast as yours.

Being new to the Realms can be overwhelming -- but at one point in time, all of us were new to the Realms.
I've been interested in the Realms since around 1990 or so. At that point, I started buying various supplements, as I could get them. That's the only reason I have a good amount of Realms knowledge now! Still, I sometimes still feel overwhelmed, because I know I'm not nearly as knowledgable as some others here.
Having a community like this is great for new fans -- especially considering how the scribes here are a friendly and helpful bunch. Believe you me, I wish I had found this site a few years ago!
Feel free to ask questions, though. That's part of why we're here.
Thanks wooly rupert, i completely agree with you about the kindness of the scribes here. It's refreshing. I've got many questions, i don't know many things but i try to carry with it, and learn as much as i can. |

No need to apologize. What is and isn't allowed to be posted can be difficult to understand at times. That fact is why I suggested you email one of the moderators. I'm sure after talking to them you'll have a better understanding and you'll get it from an official source rather than second hand information.
