Dragonlance Covers (Warning - Big Images)

[Shadowlord]

I know that there many people out there that feel that the time for Dragonlance has long since passed. Some people never liked Dragonlance to begin with.

And some ppl, like me, are eager to start and learn the new setting. So far it sounds perfect! Very romantic and such... can't get better. So long as the novels don't get restricting.

Another question I meant to ask, will DL have level caps? The original DL rules under 1E prohibited advancement beyond 18th level. Will the new DL support Epic Level play?

We have long since decided to drop that particular rule. Our products will completely compatable with 3.5, which should eventually include the updated Epic Level rules, although as of right now, we are not focusing specifically upon a single product with such rules...not yet, anyways.

Hey Christopher! What llustration style are you guys going to be looking for? Full color, gray scale or B&W illustrations?

~D

Well, according to the last glance I took at our product schedule, right now, as far as I am aware, all of our products currently, with the exception of our adventures, will most likely be full color, but don't quote me on that I do know that the Bestiary will almost certainly (95% probability) be full-color.

*grins* Great to hear, Shadowlord! I love the thought of new inductees into Dragonlance, and I'm truly hyped for the release of the products this fall, because I believe that we are going to surprise a number of people with just how much effort has gone in to creating Dragonlance 3rd Edition...we're working very, very closely with the authors to ensure that the gaming world and the novel world will meld together as seemlessly as humanly possible, without making it feel that one is guiding the other.

What, no Draconians?!

J/K - the covers look fantastic. Though I do hope that the Dracos ala Doom Brigade and sequels will be available in the game.

In the DLCS, two draconian races are presented as PC races, with plans on a sourcebook to cover them, and the others, in much greater detail

I'm guessing Easley will get the Bestiary, and hopefully Elmore will do the DM's screen, leaving the three epic Age of Mortals mega-adventures to Matt Stawicki.

Stawicki has redone both the Chronicles and the Legends trilogies, as well as being the vision of the War of Souls. He is the current look of Dragonlance. For an adventure trilogy, it would only seem right that Stawicki's talent grace the covers, giving his distinct vision to the trials which the players will face.

He's talented but I prefer Elmore's covers. I recently decided to re-read the Chronicles after all these years and found I lost my copy of DOAT! The Shock! The Horror! Alas I couldn't find a used copy so I bought a new one. Good art but when I close my eyes and picture Tanis, Goldmoon, or Sturm I get the picture of DOAT's original cover. At least it's not Lockwood, great talent but I can't get into his design choices or his Dragons. Easley's dragons will always reign supreme for me. Until I see someone do them better that is.

Greetings Chris

I was wondering if your comments above were anything to do with a rumour I heard that there was going to be a product that dealt with the Legends series and Raistlin's ascent to power to challenge the Dark Queen. Is such a product scheduled and will it make use of the epic level rules?

yours sincerely Salthanas

Yes, there is a product scheduled for release in 2004 that will deal with Legends...and that's all I'm saying about it right now... mainly because that's a year away and we're still working on the War of Souls/Fifth Age/Post-War of Souls era!
