#2 CCS Jul 16, 2014 12:31:04	Who cares if the stories are cannon? Why do you want the works (comics, novels, even splat books) of others to be more valid than the stories you & your group tell? At the most you should be concerned: is the art good? Is the story good?
#3 Chakravant Jul 16, 2014 13:17:47	While IDW is better than Marvel or DC regarding continuity (both have completely given up on it), I doubt they'll try to make it canon.  There's just too many writers who would all have to get together just to keep everything straight.  Trying to make it canon would only lead to retcons of one media or the other.

#5 LupusRegalis Jul 16, 2014 19:40:46	I'm just curious about why a 'Legends Of' series would tack on the 'Tyranny of Dragons' title.  What's the connection?

#9 eleran Jul 17, 2014 7:12:51	I am going to go out on a limb and guess that Minsc and Boo are involved through some flashbacks to when they were alive.   I don't think they will be transported to the present FR.  Although, Resurrection or True Resurrection is an idea...
