Thank you for this review; it echoes my reaction to the book exactly. I'm absolutely in love with Free League's "The One Ring" products, and am voraciously collecting and reading them, even though it's doubtful I'll ever actually play the system.

A frighteningly in-depth knowledge of early 1980s GI Joe file names: "Conrad Hauser" has been a dwarf mercenary, a barkeep, a cleric; "Dashiell Faireborne" has been a bard and a rival adventuring party captain; "Clayton Abernathy" has been a paladin; "Lonzo" has shown up a few times, as have...

Not to be picky, but wouldn't this be FASA at the time? Great retrospective, though! I agree that it always felt like...something...was waiting to happen. I guess they did "something" with the Fifth Age/SAGA-times, but...well, it wasn't for me. In retrospect it did shake things up; I'm looking...

Mine showed up yesterday. Have not unboxed, but not impressed with the shipping box packing; quite a few corners of the "bundle box" are dinged and crinkled.

Time of the Dragon was the first boxed set I owned, so yeah, Taladas IS "the D&D world" as far as pre-teen-me was concerned. I STILL pull inspiration from characters from that worldbook.

Someone must have let Tasslehoff get a hold of the Device of Time Journeying again...

My memory's a little rusty, but isn't Branchala the only CG god on Krynn? And Sirrion the only CN? DragonLance never was very fond of the "Chaos" axis. But seeing as B. is the god of bards and kender...yeah, this exactly tracks.

I'm only this far in the thread, so I don't know if anyone else has replied. But, this was EXACTLY a character concept/NPC I made in 2E: Half-Elf ranger/cleric of Habakkuk, chosen-of-bespoke-god like Goldmoon. I mean, in retrospect he was basically Shandakul from FR, but with a two-handed battle...

This is awesome, and the most genuinely wholesome thing I've seen on the Internets in way too long. What a fun way to get kids into gaming or honor those who got us there. FWIW, I just opened the Stormwreck minis set, and while it's certainly not "carved by a Renaissance sculptor" level of...

I DO remember that. I'm mid 40s, and I have a vivid childhood memory of my grandfather, who lived through the Depression, saying when he was a kid, "We had a piece of 2x4, and that was a truck. If we got lucky, we could nail some spools to it for wheels" (quote might not be word-for-word, it's a...

Rolling up new characters and planning out my next few levels on the characters I am playing are my top two "not 'other'" choices, but under other, I'll 1. split hairs and say "pouring over/reading maps" specifically. 2. Followed by "listening to D&D podcasts" 3. and "researching TTRPGs as...

This is what I initially thought the question asked, and that resulted in lot of "ticking off numbers on my fingers." If we do this: 2 x 1E, both inherited, since passed on to others 1 x 2E (first cover) probably the one I flipped through the most, also since passed on. 1 x 2E (second cover)...

I would literally watch Korg, Luis, and Madisynn recap the MCU as either MST3K style show OR a faux-news pundit show, happily.

Yup. I bought a full set of Legends of Golarion. Talk about "random" painting. ¯\(ツ)/¯ :D

Whoops! I meant "If the render was accurate to the final product," not "If MG was accurate in what they posted"! (I love you guys!)

Minisgallery.com has a render, but I have no idea if/how accurate: MinisGallery - D&D Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen

I played a Krynnish Chronomancer in 2E once upon a time. Probably my first "high concept" character (LOL at that I thought it was "high concept," 30ish years of hindsight later). Rogue wizard, so he didn't join the Orders, but pledged to Lunitari and keeping the "balance" of the timestream.

Preordered and already assembling a party.

So, based on the minis warband that ICV2 posted Thursday, I don't think those are supposed to be Solmanic Knights, but Kalaman's "Home Guard" or whatnot. Yes, I know the IMAGE is under "The Knights of Solamnia" section of the article, but I'm calling it mis-used art (what's the trope, Trailers...

There are dozens of us! Dozens! (Well, at least two.)
