Sure! I've gone as far as to ask a friend of mine to request a local game store if they can save a copy for me of the alt cover (which will probably arrive here on January 2023). As I said in other thread, I'm also pestering a friend of mine to run it, because I've never been able to play in a...

Thing is, I don't think good, evil, and balance in Dragonlance has little if anything to do with your alignment in gaming terms. It's much more about your actions and the consequences in the fiction for those actions. I don't care if your character sheet says "Lawful Good": if you're killing...

As a huge Dragonlance fan for the past 21+ years... I can only say that I'm willing to give the new writers the benefit of the doubt. Throughout the years, Dragonlance has changed and mutated a lot... Even from the very beginning and with the OG authors' involvement. I've been reading old...

Not for the first time, I wish I didn't live on the literal assh*le of the world and I could get a book I really want without having to pay almost twice its price on shipping alone 😢 Still, I'm super happy about what I'm seeing. I'm already bothering someone I know to run this campaign for us...

I think I'm in a similar situation to you. After 5 years of running only 5E when it comes to D&D, I'm itching to go back to something like AD&D 2nd Edition (which was the edition I started in) and running it "properly" now that I have all the experience as a DM and could get all the resources I...

That's my wish as well! In my case, I'd be the happiest if they gave Joe Mangianello the green light to go ahead with his Dragonlance movie. One can only hope! 🤞

Definitely looks promising... Love all the classic D&D monsters on display here, the effects look OK, and the acting looks spot on. Reminds me a lot of the OG Guardians of the Galaxy in a good way. However... My main worry is the script. I hope it's as solid as OG Guardians. If it is, I think...

Oh, I didn't know that! I'll for it then 😉

Painful to read the mistreatment of people, especially Margaret Weis who's awesome! Also, ooph! I can only imagine the possibilities of having Thimhallan (the world of the Darksword stories) developed as a D&D setting instead of its own independent thing. It's a great series of novels and I...

I don't know how relevant to sales this would've been at the time, but Tales of the Lance (the 2E DL box) was written by people who were not Weis & Hickman and, what's worse, it introduces a lot of "new canon" or "reboots" without any basis in previous publications, either in gaming or fiction...

Yeah, even as a huge Dragonlance fan, the poor sales of Fifth Age don't surprise me. Both the departure from AD&D as the main rules set for the setting, combined with the poorly executed "reboot" to it, I think it didn't create a product that was attractive to many OG Dragonlance fans. What may...

This looks amazingly terrifying—as it should be—and let me add another voice to the chorus of praise for Level Up's Monstrous Menagerie. I've come to rely so much on it that my only wish right now would be to have Roll20 version I could be so I don't have to create homebrew for all the monsters...

Thanks for sharing this! I'm getting more and more interested in the Monstrous Menagerie from what I've seen. Any chance to get a copy over at Roll20? That it'd be awesome! 😊

I agree with you—to a degree. Although I love the books (I'm currently reading the Chronicles + Lost Chronicles combined in chronological order), they're definitely not as innovative and impressive as they once were, especially so for newer readers. I enjoy them immensely for what I think they...

After a first read, I find a fascinating concept and very well executed. The fantasy of mental powers totally delivers and the "danger" of self-harm with the Strain mechanic is a welcomed change to the more "safe" design of 5E. Definitely not for everybody but, for those interested in it, looks...

I don't think it's so much an appeal for nostalgia as it is a way of bringing the setting back to a form that it's recognizable for people without much hassle. In my experiences—and although I prefer running games after the Amber trilogy—it's kinda difficult to explain to new players who may...

Although technically (and legally even) you're right, this is a work of art, love, and passion that W&H feel understandably protective of and, what's more, they feel they know what's best for the setting and fiction overall. And you know what? I think I and many other Dragonlance fans agree with...

Yeah. My feeling is thar they weren't even happy with Dragons of a Summer Flame. They wanted to write a new trilogy and TSR said "No", so they wrote a huge novel in which... They pretty much destroyed Dragonlance. I'll also miss a few things if the Fifth Age goes bye-bye (Dark Knights, Legion...

Not OP, but I think that Weis & Hickman were never happy with the Fifth Age/Age of Mortals as depicted by Rabe and the rest of TSR. Because of that, I have this feeling that this new trilogy will retcon basically anything past the Legends trilogy, leaving Dragonlance/Krynn in a more “complete“...
