Thats by douglas niles though I thought it would be a book by Ed greenwood since he created the FR world.
The Niles book already existed; it was originally going to be British Dragginglance. They decided to repackage it, so to speak, to have a book out when the game world went live.
I've heard this mentioned before and I'm quite curious about it. Dragonlance was already selling (pretty flipping well, as it happens) in the UK at the time FR was coming out. Were TSR really intending to do a British brand in the same universe and everything? That just seems utterly incredible (in its meaning of 'unbelievable') to me.
If you can point me to some information on this (and I appreciate we're not so much drifting as 'plunging' off-topic here), I'd greatly appreciate it.
Yours,
