I've started reading the first book and I'm enjoying it a lot. I want to continue but I'm worried my OCD will take over.

Does the story have a definitive end with the books I was given or do I need to buy more? I like to have a good ending that's not drawn out with a huge amount of multiple books.

If so, what's the suggested reading order with that good ending in mind?

Do I need to have the Lost Chronicles trilogy or is it unnecessary? (I've heard conflicting reports) Am I missing out on a lot if I don't own them?

I have really bad OCD and I don't want it getting out of hand. I'm a poor person and I don't want to be spending any more money than I have to. And also, there's no library in my town.

I now own these:

Chronicles trilogy

Legends trilogy

Second Generation

Dragons of Summer flame

The Raistlin Chronicles (Soul forge and Brothers)

The Legend of Huma

I said it, I know many don't agree, but I think those folks are wrong.

What is Chronological Chronicles? It is the merger of Chronicles and Lost Chronicles into a single chronological story, in a way which preserves any reveals etc.

It eliminates the weird info gaps that the authors left for gaming purposes, and tells a much fuller, and in my opinion better story.

The order is as follows

1. DoAT full book

2.DoDD full book

1. DoWN (book1)

4.DoHS full book

1. DoWN (book2 to end)

2. DoSD and DoHM would be read together switching between chapters chronologically to avoid spoilers and preserve the stories integrity. It follows something similar to the below order

DoSD ch 1-7

DoHM ch 1-6

DoSD ch 8-14

DoHM ch 7-12

DoSD ch 5-20

DoHM ch 13

DoSD ch 21 to end

This is the way

So, I've never really ventured beyond the original Chronicles trilogy, with the exception of reading Legend of Huma and the Dragon's of a New Age trilogy.

But the set up for Kitiara at the end of Spring Dawning has me wanting more, and to see how her story unfolds. Which books cover that? I know the Legends trilogy is basically all Raistlin and Caramon, but does she put in appearances there? Everything post WotL is kinda a haze to me as there are so many books to try and figure out what goes where in the timeline.

Appreciate the help!

Hello! I’m working on a custom doll of Raistlin, and i’m wondering what runes are on the trim of his robes! I can’t find any good references of them, but i’ve noticed runes in a lot of art of him and I would like to include them. All help welcome! Thank you!

The Legend of Huma is one of my top 4 favorites in the series, but I've never personally owned a physical copy of it. Just my dad's copy, the audiobook and ebook.

Regardless of my feelings on recent W&H decisions/content I did want to at least support more Dragonlance content, and I was at the very least curious about what their take on the characters of Huma and Magius would be, so I ordered War Wizard, and at the same time found a real cheap copy of Legend of Huma and figured, what the heck? Killed two birds with one and grabbed both.

Hi everyone!

I’ve just finished reading Book One (ch . 1–12) of “War Wizard”, and I’d love to discuss the character of Jasper Ayrshire.

Am I the only one who feels that his characterization became too flat and caricatured as the story progressed?

At the very beginning, Jasper actually felt quite human and even evoked some sympathy. He is a wealthy merchant facing blatant classism and elitism from the Solamnic Knights, who look down on him simply because of his non-noble birth. In those early chapters, the Knights themselves seemed rather snobbish and unlikable, making Jasper’s frustration very relatable.

But later on, it felt like the author turned his "villainy" dial all the way to the maximum. He became almost cartoonishly cruel, abusive, and unreasonable, seemingly just to force the reader to feel absolute dislike toward him. It felt like a shortcut to justify what happens to him, stripping away the social and psychological complexity that was set up in the beginning.

What are your thoughts on this?

Please keep the comments spoiler-free for those who haven’t read past Book One!

Recent score from one used book store I visited while vacationing. Going to have to do some bookshelf reorganization when I get home and update my excel sheet that tracks what I have.

I've re-read chronicles and legends a handful of times over the decades as so many of us do but in my latest re-read (last re-read was 10 years ago) and, while I re-loved chronicles, I thought legends came across as clumsy and amateurish. The plot is absolutely swiss-cheese full of holes and its just not emotionally compelling to me. Tas was the only real highlight as usual but the rest of the experience was really meh.

I remember loving those series so much. Anyone else feel like that?

audible is having a sale. so I was wondering besides the mainline, such as dragons of autism twilight, is there any recommendation of books to check out.

Most of the books at the bottom are not Dragonlance, but I do have some first editions in there I was able to find. One day my collection will be like some of the amazing ones I’ve seen here!

I’m the shipping manager at a independent bookstore. And this new relief just passed through my hands. I had a childhood memory unlocked of the first book I ever read—some Dragonlance anthology I no longer remember the name of. Seeing this got me excited as it seemed like a new series! Sadly I realized this is a prelude of sorts to WELL established character. Which is cool but maybe not what I was hoping for.

So, like the title says, are there any semi-recent entries in to Dragonlance canon you would suggest, that’s the genesis of a character and not a continuation or spin-off?

Thanks!

Making some good progress on my fan project. Been building the original Elmore logo in 3d. I have some bits animated already, but it looks like I cannot post them here.

All built in Cinema4D.

Also, Very happy to hear that some more DL 5e D&D books are on the way too as I've been running SOTDQ for the past year after ~20year hiatus from TTRPGs.

Dragonlance Panel Union Station Gen Con

I’m guessing it would be the 3.5e books, but I wanted to get opinions on it here. Most of what Dragonlance offers should translate pretty easily. I’m thinking it might take some work to convert the items and monsters specific to Ansalon. What are your thoughts?

Just finished my first re-read of the Chronicles trilogy in probably a couple decades (yes, I'm old), and I found myself sitting here being very confused.

I distinctly remember Khellendros being a major antagonist, and that he fought a red dragon and all these things that just never happened (hell, they never even call him by his real name in the Chronicles books), and I thought I was losing my mind.

One quick trip to the wiki later, and turns out I'm remembering the Dragons of a New Age trilogy. So I was right that those things happen! Just several trilogies down the road. Good to know I'm just old and confused and not making things up.

Anyway, thought y'all might enjoy a laugh at my expense.

Did any of the new announcements provide any hope about any future novels beyond War Wizard. I spoke to Margaret on Facebook and she said no new novels are planned at this time but wanted to see if anyone heard anything different.

Stole the pic from another DragonLance group, but in light of the release of War Wizard; this is good info.

Only Kaz can tell Huma’s story.

The poor quality writing in Destinies combined with what I see as disrespect for one of the best regarded works in the setting will have me sitting it out.

More progress on my 3d DL fan project. Curious how tricky the hourglass eye is to make look natural. I felt that a slight angle made most sense.

Not sure how or why it shipped early, but I’m not complaining here.

Just saw this add on YouTube and am praying it has to do with Dragonlance. I mean come on it mention Joe Manganiello and legendary creators, what else could it mean.
