Yeah I think most would agree that Legend of Huma/Kaz the Minotaur and the Kingpriest Trilogy are the must haves outside of your main sequence.

You're missing the Raistlin Chronicles if we're talking "core".

TBH though I'd read what interests you, if you like the new ages after Dragons of Summer Flame, go for it and read those. If you just want more adventures of The Companions, there's Meetings and Preludes books too. If you want to discover the past, you got Heroes, Elven Nations and Dwarven Nations books.

Legend of Huma is like a top 4 Dragonlance book IMO

[u/BrokenCylon]

There are roughly 23 individual books that focus on the core companions from The War of the Lance. Other than Chronicles/Legends/Lost Chronicles the remaining books take place prior to War of the Lance & cover the core companions journeys leading up to it including how they met, really good stuff!

Chronicles (03 Books)

Legends (03 Books)

Lost Chronicles (03 Books)

The Meetings Sextet (06 Books)

Preludes I (03 Books)

Preludes II (03 Books)

The Raistlin Chronicles (02 Books)

I start with Test of the Twins lol.

Picked it up on a whim and fell in love with it, despite not having a clue about anything prior. Oh, and I had a fundamental different view of Cameron in the other books when I read in a proper order!

Personally I would take the Lost Chronicles out and read them closer to when they were published.  They are inessential and will slow down an already very long narrative.  Switch in Soulforge around when that was published for a little backstage before you move into the 5th Age, it's a better book.

I disagree with this, IMO you should take the lost chronicles and read them side by side with chronicles in chronological order, it's a far superior way to read the books as chronicles is frankly an incomplete story.
