For me, it was walking to the sovereign press booth and getting a hug from Weis and Hickman, and the whole dragonlance experience =) I love getting recognized by authors who saw my enworld badge and recognized my SN. Also, hanging out and chatting with my pal Stan! and his buddies from the...

Old Spaghetti Factory is the win. they are super cheap and big portioned. but this con, i hardly ate, aside from cereal at the holiday inn and granola/indian trailmix stuff/ water during the day. i was starving when i made it back home.

there was a swag copy? i guess i was too late then. Jaldeen is a great guy and offered me basically anything i wanted that was left, but all i took was M&M nocturnals for my DM who runs M&M =) oh well =)

The official DL explanation is that Half Dragons, as templated, don't exist on krynn, because the love of dragons and mortals is basically fated to end tragically. From a more mechanical standpoint, Margaret Weis has stated that Draconians and Dragonspawn basically fill the slot that a half...

GR's Testament and a copy of Puerto Rico the board game.

My favorite typo is in the Dragonlance Key of Destiny module. Apparently, the ancient city of Hurim died out a long time ago, leaving ruins for folks to explore. Further examination of the text reveals why- the stone walls had a bread DC of 50! They must have been pretty hard up to try to eat...

blew all my cash the first day on new dragonlance stuff. i had to resist putting myself into debt to pick up other things i really wanted =)

well, some dude was selling a burn of Jet Li's "hero". and when i mean burn, i mean disc with a handwritten title and a photocopied case. it was sleazy.

unfortunately i need to rush to work, but if you check out the gaming forums over at www.dragonlanceforums.com or the wotc DL boards, you can see our preliminary reports =) no poster map though.

i got them both, and they're both really damn good books. War of the Lance, especially, is the book Dragonlance fans have wanted since the chronicles ended back in 86. they're huge though, so it'll take a bit before i can review them.

no worries, mate. happens to us all.

well, i started hindu, and had some rough times, and then read a lot of DL, and felt better. It certainly impressed James Wyatt when we spoke about it =) You're right though, it is kinda interesting, and certainly not for these boards, but definatly why i'm a DL fan to the core =)

I'm an indian. I've been to india many many times. that said, India is hampered by a super crappy infrastructure, which means that people just don't have the time for training hardcore as demanded by the olympics. When cricket becomes an olympic sport, perhaps this will change. Until then...

it's hard to be a good athlete when you're starving.

also, the dragonlance mini in Abberations is confirmed to be Mina (from the war of souls trilogy and the new Dark disciple trilogy). Sov Press shared this info at gencon.

You know, it would be trivial, if Tracy didn't outright say as much. Have you ever read his essay on gaming and religion? Dragonlance, at its core, is very heavily christian, and as a subset, leans pretty LDS in theology. Only reason i care? Dragonlance is responsible for making me a...

This is the Sovereign Press crew. Left to right- (Cam Banks's wife and son), Cam Banks, (Sean Everett's wife), Andre' la Roche, Sean Macdonald.

Gen Con was awesome, and i was glad to help volunteer for the enworld booth so that Crothian could go cheer on the gelflings =)

Dragonlance is (especially in dragons of autumn twilight) pretty heavily based on mormon theology. I point to the disks of mishakal, which are direct analogs to the golden plates Smith found, the fall of the church of Istar, which is the Mormon view of the Catholic Church, the turning of man...

See, i love linguistics and cultural detail. I just don't like the linguistics and cultural detail of Kalamar =) I find it very textbooky, and really, i'd rather read real textbooks.
