Sorry Sir Goulum, but I came first with that idea.. Dunno if you read the thread about it, but it was posted some time ago.. I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Yup, I found it.

It really looks as if you've read this thread and posted a new one, Sir Goulum, because my idea and 'yours' really look alike.

Drizzt is quite alive durring the time of troubles. I dont rememeber which one, but the Time of Troubles occures durring one of the books.[/QUOTE]It is Siege of Darkness.
BTW, The Year of Shadows (the year of the Time of Troubles), was 1358 DR. The year of starting the BG1 - 1368 DR.

Yes, I had read your thread and contributed, but they *are* two seperate ideas, though similar in spots. Yours is a completely brand new sequel, but mine is just taking the Time of Troubles, and seeing if a prequel could work. Also, mine has no characters(NPC's) from BGII or I, save Elminster and Drizzt.

Come on Fellow Dutchie .... it is not like you have Copyright over it (doens't happen to be that you created the story involving The Troubled Time's did you?).. Sir Goulum just used a little piece of your idea and partly worked it out with us.

As you see Sir Goulums/Your idea has some fans...

[add] I see Sir Goulum has already pointed out what he exactly means...

I actually came up with that idea as well. Although the date on yours is older my idea is my idea without reading anyone elses, as is probaly Sir Goulums. I am quite sure many people came up with this idea has very few people think it should go forward further but would like a story about the past. I actually got the idea from Magic the Gathering were they did all these expansions than came out with newer expansions by doing the Urza's expansions and the brothers war.

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...c;f=1;t=003123

As well I went out and got a patent for the idea so now it is legally mine. Just Kidding!!!

It's mine I tell you! Mine!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Nah, I was just reading this thread, and I thought: hey, I thought of that too [img]smile.gif[/img] But Sir Goulum: this "Heart of Cormyr thing was posted by Avatar, not by me. He wanted that sequel thing, and my post was about something else (read closely!!)

It's an old, good idea. [img]smile.gif[/img] I see to remember seeing a thread about sequels that turned to the possibility of a prequel, oh, a good seven or eight months ago now, perhaps?

- Battle newly-awakened evils in the Sword Coast, uncovering the sinister and determined new Cult of Cyric
- Search out Zhentarim and their insane schemes as part of your apprenticeship
- Meet a young Khalid and Jahiera, perhaps even working with them - Against Baron Ployer's slave network, perhaps?
- Meet BG2 characters yet to rear their heads; the Harpers Galvarey and Dermin Courtierdale
- Tie up loose ends - like who was Rielev before you discovered his brain in a jar? How was your mother, Gorion's friend and lover, seduced into worshipping Bhaal?

And, eventually, you'd be caught up in the battle between the Harpers and the Bhaalite priesthood, ending up with the guardianship of a young infant girl, and with a long, perilous journey to safety ahead of you - finally answering the question of how Imoen ended up in Candlekeep?
LoL, hmmm .. that post seems familiar somehow .. *vaguely points in the direction of the ToB-forum*

What?! I must not have read your post, then. Time to do some research!

Edit- Ah! We share great minds! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
