What is Dragonlance? | DragonLance Saga

Thank you for watching my What is Dragonlance? video. Let me know what you love about Dragonlance below!

A long time ago use to have a single Dragonlance book that just sat around until I got rid of it. I'm not totally sure which book it was but it could have been a part of the heroes series. I remember on the cover it had a woman wearing blue scaled armor but, I cannot remember the title. I wish I still had it.

Thanks!

Dragonlance chronicles was one of my earliest introductions to high fantasy, and remains the measuring stick for every fantasy book i read today.

Friend wants to run a Dragonlance campaign so I'm watching/reading all I can to get into it!

Mid 90s dragonlance reading in high school was good times

Great content!

Should be redone with current engines

This was the first books as a kid that I picked up on my own. I only read comics so this was a big deal. I would have loved to play the game but I didn’t have any friends that played or wanted to play

Dungeons and dragons never was a big thing when I grew up in the netherlands. But I am a huge fan of the novels and up till today still re read them at times to enjoy the world of krynn

I remember my step dad reading those books when I was like 11

The cover art on the books sucked me in. There, I said it.

Ok after this explanation I think I hate this.

The first set of fantasy books I ever read over 25 years ago. Amazing world, amazing trilogies just simply amazing!

I've always thought this, but it can't be half assed preferably a streaming service

Too bad I only got to read the books, I have never played any d&d

I loved Dragonlance when I first discovered it years ago.
Legend of Huma was the first book I read.
I wish I still had all my novels

Salvador's Drizzt books are great, but Dragonlance is timeless.

To think Raistlin Majere is a child still at the test in The Tower of High Sorcery as we speak...yet all those novels................🌉

Nice! You were doing good, right up until you dissed my boy Tas. Liked and subscribed. And I will definitely catch up on your other videos!

My brother had the first 3 or 4 novels with the Elmore covers. I read them back in the mid 80s and they were fun light reads. Compared to the heavy stuff I usually read they were the fresh air I needed. I may have to find them and give them another go.

It is a crime if this is never, properly, cinematized. It litterally has EVERYTHING!!

As an avid consumer of dubbed anime. Gotta say you have an excellent voice. Apologizes if that comes off as weird.

Take care.

I know they tried to make a movie out of this, But I wished this would get attention by a game designer or series maker. The damn thing as LOTR's little sister that needs to get relived in modern times.

racist races hating on the half elf ❤

I like how you summed it up. I once heard someone say the main element of Dragonlance that separates it from other D&D worlds is that there is always an epic battle happening. My own personal opinion is, the main feature of Dragonlance that makes it unique is its factions / races and their individual rules, lore, and history. The Towers of High Sorcery, the Solamnic Knights, the Dragon Armies, the Kender, the Elf factions, etc. etc.

Funny, when most people these days think of Dragonlance they think of novels. When I think of Dragonlance, the first thing that comes to mind is the D&D campaign setting from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. I guess it's a generational thing.

Hello my fellow lovers of DL. Shout out to our favorite Kender and also that despicable death knight.

Dragonlance is something that I've always known about but for some reason never got around to actually starting with it. I'm excited to finally giving myself the kick and diving into the world.

First novel I ever read as a teenageer was Dragons of Autumn Twighlight. My love for Dragonlance assured at that point.

I love Dragonlance, but I refuse to play 5th age. It was made to sell a card game. I feel it craps all over that wonderful world that I dearly love.

I had dinner with Larry Elmore at a convention when i was talking to a guy from 10ton hammer. He was introduced to me and i said "THE" Larry Elmore?! I was star struck to say the least, but he did recount a story about one of the paintings he did for the Tales Trilogy, in which i believe said he had a stroke, and still painted the painting in 3 weeks, was a great night and one of my favorite memories.

Now, every once in a while I'd be looking up DragonLance to see where it stands; has anything changed, updated, etc.? Usually, the answer is no, which is saddening but also relieving because it means i might actually be able to read all i did not (which is, frankly, the vast, vast majority). Fell in love with Mina in the Dark Priestess trilogy, and didn't fully understand why there were Good, Evil, and Neutral gods (i was like 11 when i read it, i didn't know about DnD alignment system or anything lol), but it was written beautifully, and i went to read Dragons of Autumn twilight and the rest of that trilogy, but when i tried to read Legends (i think), it was just... Too difficult to read and understand what i was reading. Everything was so confusing. Kinda gave up at that point, lol. The series also super hard to read in a correct order, but it's always worth a read.

I remember liking the cover for "The legend of Huma" in the bookstore. 25 years later it's still my all time favorite book and you sir just gained a subscriber

Does anyone know how or where to purchase dragonlance artwork. I love all the artwork and want to frame a few for my walls

This is a cool intro to a great intro!
I have the original trilogy and I finished the first book this Friday.
Could you do a video on the ogres?
Id like to have a few things clear out for them.
In particular, I'm interested in hearing about the Irda.

I should add, this definitely needs a movie adaption like LOTR got. There is so much material it could literally start a DLCU (DragonLance Cinematic Universe)

Loved these books as a kid, still have them packed away. My favorite of course was our friendly Kender that would gladly hold anything you might happen to drop. But I was also captivated by Raistlin and his story

Interesting. Out of curiosity-can someone sell me on why Dragonlance is so great? I will admit I'm more of a dark fantasy/horror type of guy. Favorite DnD setting is Dark Sun, and I would say my favorite tabletop is Call of Cthulhu.

Finally a channel about DL.. DL is my second favorite fantasy saga (first being LOTR so can't beat it).. Hope to find lots of videos about all the novels..

I like dragon lance better than forgetten realm setting 👌

I'm surprised no one has made a series on it like Baldur's Gate or something. There is so much that can be done but all we have are the Champions of Krynn series. That series is good but just so dated. You can't even have an evil alignment.

I'm not into Fantasy that much nor do I play tabletop games, but I ended up getting into and enjoying many Dragonlance novels during the early 2000s. I liked The Legend of Huma in particular lol.

Great video. 👍

I miss Dragon Lance.

dragonlance is my favorite Campaign setting to play and DM AD&D (I homebrew but keep to Dragonlance flavor and mythos on Krynn, as well as my favorite line of books

I first discovered DL back in the 80's starting with the novels then later the AD&D game version. It was my favorite game world.

Keep up the good work.
