Reddit mentions of The Legend of Drizzt Boxed Set, Books I-III (Set 1, Bks. 1-3)

I’m old school, and I’m reading this as ‘what fantasy writings/books/novels can I read to be a better DM/GM’?

I would recommend the original Dragonlance trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman for insight in to storytelling and how to balance humor, darkness and the death of a character (PC).

For combat storytelling, there is no one better than R.A. Salvatore IMO. The way he describes combat, it gave me great insight on how to turn combat in to part of the story through explanation of PC actions to the party. ‘You hit and deal X damage’ just doesn’t have the same appeal to me as ‘your character scores a grazing slash across the foul beast, some of its black blood oozes out in unnatural ways...’

I hope this helps! Other suggestions about reading older editions of D&D is also excellent but may be confusing for a newer DM getting used to the rules.

Game on!
