[QUOTE="Wolfspirit, post: 120874, member: 737"] Spoilers First off to those that rag on Tasslehoff, he was my favorite character in the series. Sure, he may be seen to be just comic relief, but to me he seemed to have the most common sense at times. When he sees, "Hey, the world is being covered by the armies of darkness, and here everyone is sqaubling over who gets the dragon orb?" he just smashes the darn thing. I actually cried while reading Summer Flame when he died (well, I thought he did at the time). Basically, you go through every character and show they break their sterotype, and have real personality. Next, yes, DL did suffer from having, well, to many books written too quickly, and some not the crowning achievents of fantasy writing (allthough the same can be said for FR). However, here are some good ones that Weiss and Hickman didn't write: Legend of Huma (et al) by Richard A Knaak. Awesome story, and I love the description of minotaurs. They're not just maze dwelling monsters, kids! Weasels Luck by Michael Williams. Sure, it takes a bit to get into, but it's one of the really good examples of legends and poetry influencing a story. Oh, yeah, it's also an example of a story that was done outside of the "major" story arc Knight of the Black Rose by James Lowder. Yeah, I know, it's a Ravenloft novel, but Soth is comming back, right? Heh, one last thing, if you couldn't tell, I'd be really interested in DL D20 :D [/QUOTE]
