First of all, Raistlin's not exactly a good example of a player character. Caramon, on the other hand, is a perfect example. Secondly, I'm OK with Tiamat being an antagonist that epic characters can kill if they're lucky, but if anybody starts equating her with Takhisis I'm going to scream...

We're going to press just as soon as we can hit the right print window! Until we get an estimate from the printer, however, we can't announce a release date for the dead tree version. Cheers, Cam

Hey folks, They say a ship will bring you work and a gun will help you keep it. Problem is, with all manner of ships sailing the black and more weapons and gear than you can shake a rain-stick at, if you don’t know what you’re doing you could end up flyin’ off in some rust-bucket powered by a...

Interesting. Malystryx was an alien dragon, not native to Krynn, so I wonder if it says anything about her in that sense. I'm clearly going to have to get this book, just so I can see where WotC's head is regarding Dragonlance in these core products. Cheers, Cam

I've been told Cyan Bloodbane was genericized to a great degree, with his Dragonlance-elements stripped away. Is this true? Are there any other Krynnish dragons mentioned in the book? Cheers, Cam

I think the only reason he's in this book is because nobody can think of another green dragon. Cheers, Cam

There is already a growing surge of fan-rage about the illustration of Cyan Bloodbane, who looks as if he just found out his mother was an illithid. Cheers, Cam

As it also translates as "civilian", so another school of thought has that it was used obliquely to refer to a non-Christian. Christians were "soldiers of Christ," and the pagan people weren't, and thus "civilians." For an excellent summary of this word's origins (and the problems of etymology)...

I'd love to give you a reference! Unfortunately, my wife's the Irish medieval historian, and it was her advisor who had all of the notes. Cheers, Cam

It's not strictly true that the knowledge and practice of druidry was wiped out by the Romans. Their successors, the Brehons, were arbitrators and officials within Irish society and Brehon Law is the foundation of much of historical Irish common law. In addition, Celtic Christianity differed...

That's exactly why I suggested it. :) Cheers, Cam

Boz, The Dragonlance Lexicon (Dragonlance Nexus: Dragonlance Lexicon - the Unofficial Encyclopedia) also includes many references, as it is itself a Wiki. You might want to consult with it, since it's been heavily fact-checked. It isn't perfect, but it's better than the DL page at Wikpedia at...

One of my players is playtesting a new 4e race that I'd originally given Oversized to. We've replaced that with a new racial feature that gives him +1 to damage with versatile weapons, which he likes very much. Cheers, Cam

I say it the right way. So should you. Cheers, Cam

Star Pact warlocks are Lovecraftian, anyway, so they'd work better with Krynn's own notion of the Beyond, which is anything outside of its own universe. Krynn's universe consists of the Dome of Creation, the Hidden Vale, and the Abyss, as outer planes. They correspond to the Good, Neutral, and...

I'm trying to figure out what the Ability Workspace is for. What goes in here? Your choice of two Ability Scores used most often in attacks? Now that I've discovered Grandpa's power cards, I am wondering if what I really need most is the front page of this booklet, with perhaps a sheet behind...

Awesome! Much appreciated, sir! Cheers, Cam

Actually, Dragonlance demands that there be the classic five metallic dragons, anyway. And that means brass, copper, bronze, silver, and gold. I don't want adamantine and iron dragons in Krynn, dammit. :) Cheers, Cam

I am a huge fan of the layout choices you make with this sheet. When can we see a form-fillable version? I'd be all over this if I could plug in the numbers in the workspace area and have it calculate. Cheers, Cam

Indeed! We decided to do another, more intensive editing pass on the book and tweak it in a couple of places based on some initial feedback. When that's done, we'll replace the Convention Edition PDF with the new one and everybody who bought the Convention Edition will be notified by email to...
