S2 Ep21: Masters of The Legend of Drizzt: Revelations of The Universe

Quarantine Book Club

Sometimes you don't have a book scheduled, but you do have a chance to talk about two of the most influential and famous fantasy franchises in existence.
This week the guys delve into the statements recently made by R.A. Salvatore regarding the recognition and attempts to course correct racist tropes in his Legend of Drizzt series based in the Dungeons and Dragons setting of the Forgotten Realms. They talk implications for both the books and the game of D&D itself, as well as the respect and care Salvatore has put into making these changes.
Our heroes then spend some time discussing how many butthurt little neckbeard babies there are out there crying about the new Masters of the Universe: Revelation series.
*Spoiler alert* They think you're an idiot if you're upset about it.
Finally, Bob, being a Masters of the Universe TRUE FAN, gives Rance a difficult quiz based on the original cartoon, and 80's movie era of the franchise.
