| Hm. The timing on this draws vacuum, for me... By the time these books come out, my son will be at the top edge of middle grade -- and he's been reading above his grade level for a while, so I'm not sure these will work for him. |

| The first Harry Potter book was written for that age group but adults enjoyed reading it. It will depend on how compelling the story is. |

About time. I've been waiting for proper MG books for years. Seemed like a wasted opportunity until now.
And yes, I'm aware of the Endless Quest and Dungeonology books, but those are different. |

| Let's hope it goes well in order to maybe have novels once again. Just the thought of doing graphic novels, comic books is...something. |

| Hmmm, I wonder how well "tielflings" would go over with modern day? People are a lot less religious and accepting of the idea of the redemptive villain, but.... when it comes to middle school... that being said, I would hope it goes over well. I just don't think that would be one of the first things I'd be showcasing, and it looks like a tiefling on the cover of that book. |

Actually, they are doing pretty good. Tieflings specially, but other non-human and not-standard demihuman playable races, are really popular among the younger players nowadays, specially among the LGTBI+ community. |
Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world... |

Yeah, but we're talking about novels, which have a much wider audience than gamers. The question is, how will that wider, non-gaming audience, who knows nothing of D&D tieflings, react to characters that are descended from fiends and such?
Honestly, I'd expect them to avoid such characters, at least for the first few books, to avoid upsetting those parents that think Harry Potter is occult material. |
