Im new here and i just wanted to say something so, has anyone ever read the dragonlance saga? Wonderful books. They arent sci-fi but it is fantasy fiction. If you like that kind of stuff go ahead and read them. You wont be disapointed.

I read Chronicles way back in 89 or 90. By then the whole series was in paperback. I read each one as fast as I could.

I remember thinking this is how a game of Dungeons and Dragons should unfold.

I actually felt afraid when they meet the first dragon.

I went on read the second trilogy and many of the side books.

I think I only read the first four or so. They were named after the season's right, are these the right books? If so they were really good but when a series goes on to long with the same character I tend to stop reading them and ya that includes SW. After KJA how can I read anymore SW

Yeah the first 3 were named after seasons. Autumn, Winter and Spring.

Of all the fantasy worlds I think the DragonLance saga is my favorite.

The one's I read were good, but I think I perfer the Shannara series better, although it started to get tiersome towards the end of the series.

I've read all the main Dragonlance books (the Chronicles, Legends, Second Generation, Summer Flame, and the War of the Souls), plus a myard of side books .

I like the Legends best. I think the focus onto the 4 main characters really deepen the changes in each on of them.

Id really like to try Otik's spiced potatoes. They sound good.

I've read Chronicles and Legends. They were great stories, perfect adventurers. I've also rp'd Dragonlance as well. The mage and knight system can be hard to roleplay, however.

I have read the meetings sextet, trilogies 1 and 2, chronicals, legends, second generation, summer flame, Bridges of time, war of souls, and bertrems guide to the war of mortals all in one year. Of all, summer flame was my favorite. I loved it when the two knight orders, being evil and good, joined to defeat chaos in the war of chaos. My favorite character is Tasslehoff. Who cant love the fun loving innocent kender? And i have seen the recipe for the spiced potatoes but have never tried them.

read all of the Chronicles, Legends, lots of the side books (I must tell that besides the Hickman-Weiss stories the few other that I thought are good as the original are the Brothers Majere book, a fun Agatha Christie Story with Raistlin and Caramon, the first book of the Elf Wars triology, really cool), and a few of the Saga books, which just blew...
Now Roleplaying...well, A lot of times, and usually one kender...they turned me the official city kender, no other player was allowed to play with one ^^...
and of course...the most powerful TSR being ever...Tas. He just rules.

jodathalas · Post by **jodathalas** » 2002-11-03 01:16pm

Tas is the best. He doesnt steal, he "aquires" or "finds" or sometimes things just fall into his pouches.

He is awsome.

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2002-11-03 05:01pm

I both liked Tas and found him to be irritating.

Ive noticed that whenever I reread the Chronicles my preferences for which characters I identify with shift a bit each time. Mabye thats because each character represents some part of ourselves or the authors.

I really wish they would make a good animated movie about the Chronicles.

Not some cheesey POS like Dungeons and Dragons, but a faithful representation.

anyone like the current shift to the fifth age, I mainly only have the Chronicles, with the summer flame.

I've not read any of the 5th age, but I understand it isn't bad, but just a rehash of the originals with their children.

and they finally provided an explantion for the rise of these large dragons like Skie or Klellendros, It made me wonder how large are those dragons on his original homeworld, as he said even 500 foot malys and himself was tiny compared to some of the dragons there

jodathalas · Post by **jodathalas** » 2002-11-04 01:59pm

I have a book about khellendros. I havnt read it yet though. Skie is my favorite dragon of all you meet in any book.

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2002-11-05 01:17am

I read up to the point where evil returns and they are more organized. I forget the name now. "Summer Flame"? I want to say.

It was okay, for me nothing beats the first 3 books.

jodathalas · Post by **jodathalas** » 2002-11-05 02:27pm

Yeah, well kinda. Summer flame is when the father of all gods, evil and good, decided to destroy the world they created. So armies of both evil and good joined in the struggle to stop Chaos, the father of the gods. They manage to do it and the gods are sent away with Chaos. Thus the age of mortals begins. I love the part in this book when the knights of takhissis and the solamnic knights fly together on their dragons into the abbyse to fight chaos. Gave me shivers especially when it described all the evil and good dragons flying together. Its the best book ive ever read.
