Margaret and Tracy have been using the "classic Dragonlance" logo for their books since they started writing Dragonlance novels again. You can see this with the Destinies trilogy. Magius is Huma's friend. Richard A. Knaak wrote about him in the Legend of Huma novel. The aforementioned Destinies...

I wrote 3 of the 6 alternate timelines from Legends of the Twins - Age of Dragons, War of the Darklance, and the aforementioned Dragonlands. Age of Dragons goes back to the original name of the age that began with the War of the Lance (see Dragonlance Adventures). The core theme was, "What if...

I can't believe this, but I have an update. So, I had a really great conversation with the DM from the Spelljammer game tonight. I'll try to abbreviate it some. We talked about my character (who I adore) and his Spelljammer game. We agreed that my character would leave the ship to his version...

On the Bluesky thread, Wolfgang Baur said he remembered something like a version 4.7. The image shows that it's copyright Wizards of the Coast, so it couldn't legally be shared. Unfortunately.

I remember when WotC bought out TSR, a lot of fans were against the idea of making a Magic RPG for D&D. I was shocked that it wasn't developed. Seemed like a natural mash-up to me. Then to realize it would be somewhere around two decades later before we got the Plane Shift PDFs and Ravnica. I am...

Unfortunately, it was a homebrew storyline. The only good part is that his adventure has the same basic idea as Vecna: Eve of Ruin. The character was left as a "cardboard cutout." He could pop back into existence if I rejoined the game.

The problem there is that the campaign I left is still going. Nobody knows yet how it will end. I had various reasons for leaving, but the most important is it didn't work well with my work schedule. I like the idea of writing my own ending. However, I have sort of a rare thing here. Vecna...

In another thread, I questioned whether or not to leave my friend's Spelljammer game. I decided to do the smart thing and leave. While I don't regret that decision, I am a bit sad because I loved my character and he will not see the story to fruition. The story revolved around assembling the...

Since the first day I have ever gamed, I have had a love of science fantasy as a genre. The first campaign I played in was a homebrew science fantasy setting using the AD&D 2e rules. Plus, I'm a huge fan of Star Wars. By far, it's one of my favorite sub-genres. In TTRPGs, I find there are a few...

Is that the Deluxe Character Sheet for Tales of the Valiant? I like it pretty well, but I wish they had a version for D&D 5e as well as the existing Tales of the Valiant version. It's pretty good!

I think that was awfully shortsighted of him. :D

That's my problem exactly. I don't see a completed and fully tallied stat block. It drives me nuts. D&D Beyond is such a helpful tool and I like how you can reference things quickly, like spells. However, there are things it lacks and it's not always the laid out well. I find that frustrating.

As I understand it, the way you add an animal companion, sidekick, etc. in D&D Beyond is to go to the Extras tab and click Manage Extras. I can see the beast companion from 2014, but there appears to be no way to select Beast of the Land, etc. Am I missing something here?

What, no minotaurs? I love me some minotaurs. Richard A. Knaak really brings them to life.

Good deal. Glad that Morrus posted a news item about that.
