05-04-07, 11:21 AM Over at Candlekeep, we generally adopt the three-to-six month period.

It may seem somewhat lengthy, though consider that some countries are usually weeks and/or sometimes months behind a potential new FR novel release.

05-04-07, 11:28 AM I just wondered. The Blackstaff thread says spoiler when that book came out last year (can't remeber which month). So I thought to ask. I would hate to get introuble for using something in a thread about The Unclean for instance and not know when it would be ok to talk about it.

05-04-07, 05:35 PM I, personally, always spoiler any novel info, even if it's from a 5+ yr old book.

Not everyone has read every book (tho I have almost) and may be starting fresh.

Just a small way of being somewhat curteous (I make up for it in other ways) :devil:

05-05-07, 08:04 AM yea you could have the first forgotten realms book ever printed and it would still be spoiler

05-06-07, 05:17 PM I'd give a spoiler warning for any book less than a year old, and for any event that's dramatically important in a novel, regardless of when published, except large-scale things widely known in the Realms. Best to err towards caution.
