Dragonlance Champions of Krynn: A Free Adventure From Dragonlance Nexus

Dragonlance fan-site, Dragonlance Nexus, has released a free 28-page adventure based on the 1990 video game.

I am pleased to announce that a long awaited dream is actually coming to reality today. This chapter is created in the spirit of the original 90s gold box game, but is not the same tactical game that I spent hundreds of hours playing through. The locations, the people, the story is still intact but many of these things have been expanded.

As an avid lover of Dragonlance, Dungeons & Dragons, and the original gold box games, I can’t wait for a new generation to dive into the game and hear their tales.

Chapter 2 is well into the final stage of the writing process and Chapter 3 has begun to be outlined for playtesting. It’s a good day to be a fan of Dragonlance and through your support we can continue this process, so thank you.

As a huge fan of Gold Box Games, I really appreciate you posting this (and the creator actually writing it)!

I couldn't make it out on their site, but... is this WotC sanctioned? The site lists itself as unofficial, and I could easily see an immediately CaD sent out. Don't get me wrong, I personally hate that WotC has shut out use of a lot of D&D setting, and would love to see many of them sourced out to content creators (especially to the original designer). That's not the direction they've gone, however, so unless this is official, I'd be hesitant to jump for joy

I don’t know the details, but it’s my understanding that the Dragonlance Nexus runs with WotCs blessing and they are in contact with WotC.

Edit to add, from later in the thread.

Hi there, I work with the Nexus and did the layout and helped edit this book. WotC knows we exist and we're allowed to use the IP as long as we don't sell it. Once Dragonlance is allowed on the DM's Guild we'll be putting our items on there as well. This is free and totally legal.

AWESOME! Hopefully this means it's official and won't get shut down by a bunch of fracking lawyers that hate fun

I'm not particularly a fan of DLNexus, but I do welcome this initiative! Great idea, and great development, I am eager to run the adventure with my D&D table!

I applaud the effort and hours spent making this project!

OTH, waiting for someone to come in and be all judgy about a free fan-based project in 3 ... 2 ... ?

Man, if someone makes a 5e version of the FR Gold Box Pools series, I would be on it in a heartbeat. I've dabbled in doing it myself, but it's a big project to do it all, as well as creating a more structured storyline that brings everything from all four games together cohesively...

That being said, I like the Krynn ones as well, so I'll need to take a look at this...

I think that could be done on the DMsGuild

Cool. Reading now.
