Fantasy fans! Roleplaying gamers! Geeks! Lend me, and Audible.com, your ears! For I have news people!<\/p>\n

Some of you may have heard of author R.A. Salvatore, well known fantasy writer perhaps best known for his \u201cForgotten Realms\u201d novels (which is a setting for the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons). If not, now you have. He\u2019s kind of a big deal in certain circles. Well keep following me. He also wrote a series of books referred to as the DemonWars Saga. It\u2019s two trilogies bridged by a single book, \u201cMortalis\u201d. The Saga is Book 1: \u201cThe Demon Awakens\u201d; Book 2: \u201cThe Demon Spirit\u201d; Book 3: \u201cThe Demon Apostle\u201d; Book 4: \u201cMortalis\u201d; Book 5: \u201cAscendance\u201d; Book 6: \u201cTranscendence\u201d; Book 7: \u201cImmortalis\u201d. The Saga has an accompanying roleplaying game called \u201cDemon Wars\u201d. It\u2019s hard to summarize 7 books so here\u2019s the link to its Wikipedia entry<\/a> if you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n

Now the big news is that recently there has been the release on Audible.com of \u201cThe Education of Brother Thaddius and Other Tales of DemonWars\u201d by R.A. Salvatore. These are three stories that surround the DemonWars Saga. According to Audible.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Mather’s Blood” takes place before the start of the DemonWars Saga and tells of the ranger Mather Wyndon, uncle of Elbryan, a central figure in DemonWars.<\/p>\n

“A Song For Sadye” offers new insights into the life of the bard, Sadye, who plays an important role in the second DemonWars half of the DemonWars Saga.<\/p>\n

“The Education of Brother Thaddius” picks up the DemonWars story immediately following \u201cImmortalis\u201d, the last book of DemonWars, and opens the door for the next saga in the world of Corona. First printed in the DemonWars: Reformation Core Rule Book, “The Education of Brother Thaddius” highlights the troubles in the in Abellican Church, battered by the De\u2019Unneran Heresy and struggling to survive in a world ravaged by wars and demons.<\/em><\/p>\n

And in case you weren\u2019t excited, guess who is reading these? Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day! If not THE King and Queen of Geeks, they are certainly our royalty. I know what you\u2019re wondering. What does THAT sound like?<\/p>\n
