god, how did i forget Dungeoncraft? That series of articles was instrumental in making me a better DM. i still reference them today.

the wizards three by far and away. but then, i love anything even remotely dragonlancy =)

heh. i've been DMing since 3e came out, and i still don't know the rules for dungeons and dragons =) its not that important. whats most important is keeping the flow of the game going, and making sure that you and your players are enjoying themselves. everything else you'll pick up as you go =)

most of my best gaming sessions have come from tinker gnomes =) they're my favorite D&D race barnone.

heh. i'm betting that you can make some nice boots out of that steel toad =)

here's another question for ya, Gary. Could you explain the concept behind Chromatic and Metallic Dragons? i mean, the evil dudes make sense, what with breath weapons that more or less match their color, but how did you decide on the five metallics, and why give them two BWs? and why brass...

dude, i love dragoneye so much that my flcs and i have worked out a deal where i can buy ten packs for 75 bucks, so this increase doesnt really affect me =)

the DLCS was originally slated to have 20 pages of crunch on tinker gnomes. this section was sliced out since someone high up decided that it was way too much space to dedicate to a single race =(.

i dunno, i've run some incredibly fun sessions with a clan of gullys living in an abandoned brothel =)

common to who? personally, i think some of the best novels havent been done by them. see the recent kingpriest trilogy by Pierson, or Lord Toade by Grubb, or the barbarians trilogy by Thompson and Cook. dragonlance has nearly 200 novels. some are bound to be sucky, and some are really damned...

shrug. i wouldnt, myself, because i just dont have any interest in it. as far as my games go, if you can successfully suspend my disbelief, then go for it. otherwise, i find it disruptive as a DM, and generally don't allow it. For the most part though, gender issues have never come up in my...

man, if only they had gone with the original fifth age version of the war of souls, where soth and his legions of undead blew up out of nightlund and basically took over ansalon... now that would have been a fiery finish =)

i think that the fifth age was good for dragonlance, in terms of shaking up the setting, and finally starting to sever ties with those overplayed heroes of the lance. and now, especially in the post war of souls era, dragonlance is more playable than it has been in any time since 1987. The...

heh. over hickman's dead body =)

well, my players had never heard of DL till i started the game, so canon has never ever been a problem for me. in fact the only issues my game has is with those pesky things called rules =)

The thing that makes Krynn more roleplay than powergaming (outside of the artificial 18th level cap back in 1st ed) is that adventurers, heroes, and other high level folk are very rare in the setting. Magical items are almost Dark Sun-like in rarity. Arcane casters are rare, and pending when...

heh. dude, if you take away everything that makes it Dragonlance, you're playing in greyhawk with a different map. DL has another continent with more uniquely dragonlance things, and lots of playable time periods. if you want to play the novels, go ahead. its the same as playing the...

wow. beats me. my dragonlance campaign has been going strong for 4 years now. i guess i didnt get the "DL Campaigns Suck" memo =) Seriously though, the main problem is that people hear dragonlance and think chronicals. They think railroaded plots and pregens who've already done everything...

hey gary, i've always wanted to know this- Why did you release the 1st edition AD&D monster manual before the other two books?

better than dragoneye? that's gonna be a hard choice for me. Huge minis are all well and good, but dragoneye has DRACONIANS =)
