Dragonlance Covers (Warning - Big Images)

[Stormprince]

Hey Chris,

I noticed on a previous thread you mentioned there will be a Dragonrider PrC (way cool). Does that mean its open season on what PrC's you can reveal?

I assume we'll have:

Dragonrider
Knight of Solamnia
Knight of Neraka
Wizard of High Sorcery

Am I correct? Any others you can share? Tinker? Handler? Mystic?

Yes to the first four prestige classes, plus the Legion of Steel and a few other "surprise" prestige classes. For the most part, we tried avoiding racial specific prestige classes in this particular book as there just wasn't enough room for everything that we wanted to do! Plus, we introduce the Mystic base class )

There is also an entire section on Gnomish Invention Creation, which is one of my favorite parts of the book.

But, right now, I can't reveal too much of what's in there, as it is WotC's book, so I'm sure they'll be releasing some information in the not too distant future

For those of us who have stuck with the setting through all its incarnations and deaths, these books are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I quiver with joy just thinking about them =)

DRAGONLANCE FOREVER!


Of course, we have new and interesting problems post WoS, like the affect on the oceans with the stopping of the blood sea and the changing of the moons....

And Sirrion.
Or the flood of Tarsis.
Or the location of Teyr.

And on and on.

BTW, is sovpress accepting submissions? There is a lot of DL to be covered =)

When it comes to submissions, Jamie Chambers is the person to get a hold of when it comes to writing and I'm the person to contact for artwork

Will the continent of Taladas be covered in the upcoming books?

Taladas is briefly touched upon, but no depth is given to it at this time. The focus for these first books is for the "mainstream" Dragonlance... and since we have to cover multiple Ages and periods, and since the two continents are VERY different, we're focusing on Ansalon first.

In the future, we will probably explore the "Otherlands" in greater detail, including Taladas, the Dragon Isles, the Isle of the Irda, the homeland of the Brutes (Tromek), etc., but for now, we're really trying to catch the (D&D) game up with everything that's happened in the novels, so we're working on things based around that. First Ansalon, then other lands.

*grumbles* Mailing List >.<

I've been off the list for quite awhile now! I got "booted" once when my email account bounced a few emails...and though I've sent in multiple requests, I haven't been put back on the 'list, so I'm a bit bitter 'bout that... not that I miss the usual vitrol that's so often flung about, but that's neither here nor there... I've gotten pretty good at holdin' my tongue when required

Awesome Once you get it all polished, feel free to send it to Jamie for review... he deals with Dragonlance, I'm the Sovereign Stone guy I get to write and edit and art direct and all that fun stuff, but he gets to deal with all the bureaucracy

heh. i'm gonna be nice and not mention the fact that you sent a few flying loads of aformentioned vitrol my way during that short span you had on the list

Suffice to say, things have gotten a lot better. Its just that us fans are reaching for anything we can get, like raist and the key of knowledge. Sometimes, the only way is to become evil. =)

In anycase, i'll be sure to send in a sample to Jamie. Thanks for being available here. It makes a fan feel like he has access .

I was reactionary... translation, I only responded when I felt that I could not hold my tongue because someone else was already being unconcerned with what they said...or they were outright rude and wrong After all, I try and remain professional when on message boards and lists.

That said, it's not a problem at all I like PR, and it's very cool to see people interested and pumped for the new DL line!

Will Irda be available as a playable race from the get go?

Dargonesti/Dimernesti? (sea elves)

Half-ogres?

What about Dragons? I think it would be cool if players could play as Silvara/Mirror type characters.

Will the gods of Krynn offer new domains to clerics?

Will there be templates for "chosen" people of the gods, like Mina?

Will there be Item Creation rules for the Device of Time Journeying?

Any new core classes other than the Mystic?

I loved the old table in the DL hardcover detailing how to determine what is found in a kender's pockets. Will a similar table exist in the new sourcebook?

Any races that have a +2 Cha?

Yes

Yes

Yes

Nope, not as of yet

Will the gods of Krynn offer new domains to clerics?

Yep

Will there be templates for "chosen" people of the gods, like Mina?

Not as of yet...but, we have an entire sourcebook planned on the Gods...

Will there be Item Creation rules for the Device of Time Journeying?

Nope, artifacts don't receive creation rules

Any new core classes other than the Mystic?

Not in the DLCS, but...

I loved the old table in the DL hardcover detailing how to determine what is found in a kender's pockets. Will a similar table exist in the new sourcebook?

Not a diehard table, not in the book, nope...but there is a section on Kender Pouches, yes

Any races that have a +2 Cha?

You'll just hafta wait and see As the DLCS is a WotC product, we're not the ones that are allowed to release teasers or promos from it... so, I'd start harrassing WotC if you want some teasers

Awesome. Thanks for the replies Chris. A few more questions...

Knights of Solamnia ride metallic dragons and Knights of Neraka ride chromatic dragons. Does that leave anything for the Legion of Steel?

Are "afflicted" kender any different mechanically than normal kender?

Can clerics choose the High God as a patron deity? What about Chaos?

Do wielders of "wild magic" or necromancy get their own core classes or prestige classes in the Age or Mortals book?

Will there be a Dragon Overlordrider prestige class?

Is much detail given on taking a Test of High Sorcery?

Hmmm, more as I think of them...I can't wait!
