Dragonlance world book in 2029
January 1st
2029
Tracy Hickman shared an update about the Dragonlance project underway by himself, Dragonlance co-creator Margaret Weis, and actor Joe Manganiello. "Since Monday, Margaret Weis, Joe Manganiello and I have been meeting with Dan Ayoub and the incredible D&D team outlining the world book for Dragonlance as well as future product beginning in 2029. The future is going to be filled with epic adventure!"
The update includes photos of a whiteboard, and a reference to future products in 2029.
The whiteboard shows an outline of a book, and appears to show the timeline as the events of the original Dragonlance Chronicles, as Dragon Highlord Ariakas dispatches the Dragonlords and their armies across the world of Krynn. It also includes rules for dragon-riding and combat, as well as rules for warfare. There's also a reference to Kender Highlords, a concept bound to provoke a shudder of... something.
It positions the player characters as the Heroes of the Lance, rather than the original characters from the novels and adventure models, allowing for multiple starting locations in the world of Krynn. Originally, the Dragonlance adventures started in the town of Solace, with players taking on the roles of pre-generated characters which featured in the accompanying novel series.
The D&D event at Gen Con earlier this year introduced the 'D&D Icons' line, featuring worlds and creators from D&D's history. Weis and Hickman were highlighted, along with RA Salvatore, the creator of Drizz't Do'Urden. Joe Manganiello is Chief Creative Officer of the line.
