Comments

Mayaibrahim: Manganiello's got some good instincts on this, love seeing them blend old and new IP. Still waiting to see who gets picked for the Drizzt live-action adaptation
Noahsantosxo: red flags already, bringing in Salvatore's Drizzt is a lazy move if you're trying to update the game
Luna: this "icons" thing needs to mean more than just famous names slapped on the box. where's the substance?
Neon Serpent: finally some actual collaboration, not just token nods to the past. How's this initiative going to shake up what they're trying to do with the classic IPs?
Talia: salvatore's one-trick pony rode hard and died, time to put drizzt out of its misery already
Wraith Sable: I'm not sure why Manganiello gets to be the driving force behind bringing old IPs into D&D - what's stopping actual writers and fans of Salvatore's work from creating
Sana: still can't imagine Drizzt in modern-day Minneapolis
Felix: Salvatore's done some decent work, but this Icons thing feels like another cash-grab attempt to reboot the franchise again
Freyas: I'm curious, what kind of balance would they strike between bringing in classic characters and updating the tone for modern players?
Mirage Serpent: suddenly they're going full-on mashup, which is either genius or a recipe for disaster
