Well, I fell like a greenhorn in these forums. I really only started loving the Forgotten Realms within the last year. In fact, I didn't know much about it and wasn't a big reader in general. And then I picked up the first book of Drizzt. Everything after is history :).
I'm not finished with all the Drizzt books yet but am already looking at which adventure I want to tackle next.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have... A lot of us have been Realms fans for years, and we know a thing or three about the setting. Plus, we've got some of the authors and creators here!
As for the rest of us, we are friendly, mostly harmless, and occasionally strange... Enjoy your stay!
