The limitations placed upon the authors by Hasbro's rather medieval 'decency code' will never allow 'game novels' to ever shine the way they should.

Elfshadow and Azure Bonds were written under TSR's even more ridiculous code of ethics, and those are some of the best Realms novels we've had -- and they compare most favorably to a lot of other fantasy novels, as well.
Those who don't consider such books literature don't do so because of a lack of adult topics -- it's because shared worlds are looked down on by those who do non-shared worlds.
Adult topics do not literature make. |
