I guess it can be tough when you're a writer-for-hire and your boss gives you a brief on a new direction for the setting and you don't like it. I guess you have to try to make the best of the situation. I didn't mind Dragons of Summer Flame. I felt Dragonlance needed to be injected with some new...
Weis & Hickman were the ones who came up with the events of Dragons of Summer Flame. I wonder why they would want to snuff it out as never happening. Do they regret writing that novel?
Everyone deserves to succeed. I have no interest in 2024 D&D but I hope it succeeds and people have fun with it.
DC20 wouldn't exist without D&D but I hope it succeeds, too.
I never played Tunnels & Trolls. Is it a roleplaying classic that you'd be remiss not to try at least once in your lifetime?
What is the best edition to pick up for the quintessential experience?
The changes after Dragons of Summer Flame were kind of goofy and I didn’t like them either. But I loved D&D and Dragonlance so still kept up with what was going on in the novels and game supplements - even though I didn’t play Saga Edition.
But then War of the Souls came along as an attempt to...
I don't think it's a new edition in the same way 3.5 and 4.5 (Essentials) weren't new editions. Don't worry, I think we'll definitely know it when a new edition (6th edition) comes out.
Yes, the Dragonlance Destinies trilogy is finished. Just got my copy of book 3.
I miss the 3E-era Age of Mortals novels. They were well coordinated and took the setting forward.
How baked in is the setting? Could you pick up the game just for the mechanics and run it with a more generic fantasy world like Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms?
... To answer my own question. Troll Lord's have said Castle Zagyg Yggsburgh "will eventually be updated, but for now, you can get it exactly as it appeared in 2008." So I'll wait for the updated version when they roll out the full Castle Zagyg line.
I've always felt the Bandit Kingdoms was like the Wild West. Especially with the Rift Canyon nearby also. How do you give the Flanaess an American cultural flavour? I guess it would be somewhat anachronistic but you could layer traits of a modern US over the top of a feudal medieval milieu. For...
Sounds like an interesting campaign. Have you taken into consideration the Great Migrations? What is the Earth-analog of the Sueloise and Oeridians in your setting?
These migrations are said to have moved from the west into the east to fill the Flanaess. With the Flan being the native...
