[QUOTE="brimmels, post: 8611619, member: 6919689"] In addition to the official videos announcing [B]Dragonlance[/B] releases for late 2022, I got to talk to talk to the D&D team and get a few more details not in the public D&D Direct event. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen Shot 2022-04-21 at 5.41.16 PM.png"]155736[/ATTACH] [LIST] [*]Because Dragonlance is a setting about war, Ray Winninger, Executive Producer of Dungeons & Dragons, was asked if [B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B] would have large-scale combat rules. He said that they would in an broad abstract form. The board game or battle game [B]Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn[/B] is actually focused on large-scale combat and can be played independently or RPG players could switch to [B]Warriors of Krynn[/B] for their big combat scenes, including porting in their characters and then switch back to the RPG after the battle. So the RPG adventure can be played alone, the board game can be played alone or they can be combined, depending upon the group's preference. [*][B]Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn [/B]is a cooperative game. [*]When asked if [B]Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn[/B] could be used for large-scale battles in other D&D settings Winninger said it was designed with that idea in mind. However, if [B]Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn [/B]is poplar they'll consider making more customized, large-scale combat board games for other settings. [*][B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B] is a brand new story, independent of the upcoming novel, [B]Dragonlance: Dragons of Deceit[/B]. Winninger said that Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are telling their own story set in Krynn while [B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B] is a different story set in Krynn and is blazing a trail to help players create their own stories in Krynn. So [B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B] and [B]Dragons of Deceit[/B] are both set in the same world but different stories. [*]There will be some cameos from old Dragonlance characters, especially villains, in [B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B]. [*]Price points for [B]Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn[/B] and [B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B] are not finalized yet. [*]When asked about player races for [B]Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen[/B] – especially Kender – Winninger said that Kender have gotten a good reception from the [I]Unearthed Arcana[/I] play test but they're making some tweaks. Yes, Kender will be an option. He said the play test material gives hints as to what playable races it will have but would not mention to confirm any specifically beyond Kender. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
