But telling tales set in a franchise means an author must often play by someone else’s rules.

A. Salvatore, Michael A. Stackpole, and Elaine Cunningham to master world-builders Gary Gygax and Ed Greenwood—and turns them loose, collecting stories that showcase just what these remarkably inventive minds can create when they’re given free reign over every word on every page...
