    What are you reading in 2026?

    I really enjoyed the beginning of the Dragonlance chronicles when I read them when they came out in the 80s but I really dislike new plot elements introduced for the climax and resolution that make it less a story about the group of protagonists and more about a couple new late introduced NPCs.

    Dungeon Crawl Classics What is cool to you from a player perspective?

    Broncosaurus Rex, Deadlands, Firefly, romanticizing a fantasy Confederacy was a late 90s/early 2000s thing, unfortunately. You can even see aspects of it in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time with the Seanchean.

    The description matches up and that giant looks like the interior picture we saw of the giant, but I remember the physical cover being sort of beige and yellow colors and a different picture. Perhaps an alt cover?
