Possible Date[]

Supposedly there is a tweet by Chris Perkins that says "if the novel Archmage is canonical in your campaign, the adventure would take place in 1485 DR or later." (referring to Out of the Abyss). —Moviesign (talk) 17:28, April 19, 2019 (UTC)


That's interesting, thank you Moviesign, I was wondering how does this adventure interact with the latest Drizzt's novels... is the adventure kinda an alternative story? LylaNikker (talk) 21:27, August 25, 2019 (UTC)

The adventure is integrated with the Drizzt series in that it deals with the fallout of certain events from the later novels. Out of the Abyss is not an alternate story, it takes place in the same universe and continuity as the Drizzt series. Admittedly there seems to be some confusion regarding the dating of OotA and the Drizzt novels, but both stories do co-exist. --Ir'revrykal (talk) 10:55, August 26, 2019 (UTC)
The "if it's canonical in your campaign" bit is just their acknowledgement that you can do whatever you want in your own games and are not beholden to the novels or official dating if you don't want to be. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 17:32, August 26, 2019 (UTC)
