Margareth Weis: ‘Dragonlance: Fifth Age’ was very controversial at the time
The Fifth Age in DL was very controversial at the time. After Gary left and Lorraine took over TSR, she declared there would be no “stars”. She wanted to take DL away from me and Tracy and bring it “in house”. The Fifth Age was designed to do that.

Wasn’t it also Lorraine’s idea to set up TSR comics? The one that lead to DC ending all their DnD comics when the licence ended? That one I don’t remember.:)

Whatever happened to the Saga system? It never did catch on. Sales were dismal.

This is why Dragons of Summer Flame ended up a single book and not a trilogy. DL fans were split. Some liked it. Others didn’t. There were flame wars on line. When WoTC bought the company, Peter Adkison asked, “Who blew up DL?” He decided to bring me and Tracy back.

WoTC wanted us to reunite the fan base. Tracy came up with the idea that led to the War of Souls. This explanation is for those who have wondered.

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman return to the unforgettable world of the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series as a new heroine—desperate to restore her beloved father to life—sets off on a quest to change time.
Destina Rosethorn—as her name implies—believes herself to be a favored child of destiny. But when her father dies in the War of the Lance, she watches her carefully constructed world come crashing down. Not only does she lose her beloved father but the legacy he has left her: the family lands and castle. To save her father, she hatches a bold plan—to go back in time and prevent his death.
First, she has to secure the Device of Time Journeying, last known to be in the possession of the spirited kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot. But to change time, she needs another magical artifact—the most powerful and dangerous artifact ever created. Destina’s quest takes her from the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin to the town of Solace and beyond, setting in motion a chain of disastrous events that threaten to divert the course of the River of Time, alter the past, and forever change the future.
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman published their first novel in the Dragonlance Chronicles series, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, in 1984. More than thirty-five years later, they have collaborated on more than thirty novels together in many different fantasy worlds. Hickman is currently working with his son, Curtis Hickman, for The VOID, creating stories and designs for whole-body, fully immersive VR experience. Weis teaches the competitive dog racing sport flyball. She and Hickman are working on future novels in this series. pic.twitter.com/JS5LS8kEIl— Margaret Weis (@WeisMargaret) December 17, 2021
So I am super excited yet kind of confused by this because I thought Tass and Flint were, you know….⚰️⚰️ I hope there is an adequate explanation for their return. Who says that is Flint?

A proposal for a Dragonlance comic book
When Tracy Hickman presented the idea of Dragonlance to TSR back in 1983-84, Steve Sullivan and artist, Tim Truman, submitted a proposal for a Dragonlance comic book. Steve tells the story. https://t.co/o0huWRm1B9. pic.twitter.com/nzxCyNgBwX

Where should I start with Dragonlance?
Where should I start with Dragonlance?
Never read a single book in the series.
Could I just watch the cartoon?
I’ve flipped through the module before, but never played in or ran a dragonlance game either. 100% start with the first three novels Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, & Dragons of Spring Dawning. The world will unfold from there…

Can someone help me understand the general sustain for Kender, especially in the context of D&D?
@takingd20 @nerdimmersion @matthewmercer @Dan_Dillon_1 @HankrinFerinale can someone help me understand the general sustain for Kender, especially in the context of D&D? Cheers

Righto. So think of them as halflings (not hobbit style, more like 3e or 5e style) but they explicitly have no concept of ownership.
They don’t think they’re stealing, but they constantly just pick up whatever. People play too hard into that in a way that can be super annoying. It’s a written excuse for people who play the “steals from the party” rogue to do that way too much.
