Dragonlance Covers (Warning - Big Images)

Stormprince, what's your favorite aspect of the new DL to be released?
Is it how the novels & gameworld mesh together (or don't), is it the art, is it how you incorporated the world in a d20 system, is it a product we don't know about yet...?

 

[Ruvion]

I bet I can answer that question better than Chris...He likes all the aspects of the new DL...isn't that right Prince?!?

I bet you this new revamp that DL is getting is really going to revitalitze the setting as never before.

Thank You Sovereign Press

Chris,

I just wanted to give a hearty congratulations on the work you've done so far. Dragonlance has always been number 1 in my book and the release of the setting this year is my most highly awaited.

I can't wait to re-enter Krynn again.

Can you tell me if the minotaurs (as written for DL) are different than the MM variety?

Also, I assume the Irda are written up as well (as they have always been my favorite race from DL)?

Thanks for your time,

Son of Thunder

Oh boy. *laughs!* I opened a can of worms here... okay.... how about this....

[SNIP]

The world has changed, but there is now more than ever a need for heroes, with plenty of stories to be told!

After years of others speaking in tongues, you just broke out and spoke plainly.

Thank you. This is a Dragonlance I could be interested in again.

As a whole? I'm truly psyched about everything. That may seem like a cop out, but I'm really liking the path that things are currently heading down. The novels and the games are beginning to explore brand new territory--territory that I think will truly go a long way towards revitalizing interest in Dragonlance as a whole.

Personally, I'm excited about writing the mega Dragonlance campaign adventures. It's not like writing a novel that could hit the New York Times Bestsellers list, but just the scope of the adventure, the impact it will have upon Krynn, and the story elements behind the adventure give me as big a thrill as if I were writing a series of novels

Yes, the minotaurs are very different than the ones in the MM...they had to be

And yes, they are...the Irda were always one of my favorite races as well

*snickers* You almost took the words right outta my mouth

And you're right, Ruvion, that's what we're shooting for!

I hope DL won't go in the same direction of what happened to FR. FRCS is not only a beautiful book, FR is a fabulous world (or was) but it has become too "mainstream" and lost its magic. I hope DL won't become another "Hollywood".

As for the adventures: that's what's currently lacking in FR. A beautiful world can only be so beautiful without those epic adventures which catch its feel. So keep those coming for DL!

Nah, I don't think there needs to be any fear of DL going "Hollywood-mainstream..." after all, we don't have Drow or Orcs, which do seem to be the current rage right now

Even though Dragonlance is nearly 20 years old now, I can't help but thinking of it as a fresh, untouched setting. It's because that there was a belief that Dragonlance wasn't "mainstream" enough that Sovereign Press gained the license for it...despite the amount of sales for Dragonlance books, but that's another story entirely!

The adventures that we have planned for Dragonlance are meant to be epic in scope. They are meant to feel that characters are truly involved in something important, something that has an impact, without ever feeling that they are just doing something that's already been done before.
