Forgotten Realms vs Dragonlance is like Red Sox vs Yankees.
The rivalry makes it all the more fun for everyone.

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.

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?
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…

@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.
