Shohrerh Agdashloo is like using a cheat code at this point. She makes everything 10x better

If Weiss & Hickman aren’t involved, I ain’t interested. Without them, there is no DragonLance

[cpcupcake]

Reminder that neither of the authors were consulted to work on this. Also, WotC was in an agreement with the two of them to write a few more books, and WotC got caught not honoring the contract (they were planning on infinite objections which is a violation of the state they were suing in) despite the pair of authors changing everything WotC demanded, some of which were ~80 page rewrites.

I really hope there's a campaign setting coming as well. An adventure book is grand, but I'd like more.... meat and Otik's Spicy Potatoes.

If I hadn't been told that this is supposed to be Dragonlance I wouldn't have guessed it. It looks like some generic fantasy stuff. I know Krynn went through some major upheavals because the authors needed to sell new books, but aside from the flying fortresses and maybe the wings of the draconians nothing looks particularly krynn-ish.

[Dalamr]

Looks more like something from Amazon's Rings of Power than Dragonlance. And I don't mean that as a compliment.

You know this means we finally get Dragonlance minis. I've been working on a video game for years because of dragonlance. It simulates riding dragons with lances and ballista. You'll also be able to play giants and troops. All because of these books that i started reading in 85-86. Friggin so happy we get more of this great world.

[miramarto]

I was super excited to see this as the original novels were literally my favorite books as a kid in the 80's and 90's, but by the end of the trailer I was just kinda lost. If not for the title reveal at the end, I wouldn't know what I'm looking at and I still don't really know what you're selling me.

[panagNik]

Although the trailer seems remarkable, the presentation feels as if it refers to some other generic fantasy setting. The flying citadel and the Draconian army give off some dragonlance vibes but it feels like so many more things that made dragonlance unique are missing.

[caspianbchalphy]

….I honestly don’t know how to feel about this. I love Dragonlance but I do not trust modern WotC and I’m worried they will mess with this.

Also I haven’t read all of the Dragonlance books but I don’t recognize any of these characters. Are they from the new book? I’m just thinking yes it would be smart to promote the new book if they are from there but why not reference the old characters that people know and love.

[JasonWeitzel]

Shohreh Aghdashloo needs to narrate more d&d. Damn....that voice.

[bruno-spcq]

If the title wasn't Dragonlance I wouldn't have guessed at all.

[odu_history_]

I was so excited to see Dragonlance, that I didn't read the description. I was 15 seconds or so in when I went, "Wait! Is that Shohreh Agdashloo?" Freaking awesome!

[iSlicer]

Can’t ruin what I already have. The narrative is fully on display here.

[nicw]

Dragonlance is one of the best fantasy settings ever. The tales and legends within the settings are so awesomely crafted. I was devastated when Heart (Legends of Huma) died. Roleplayed as a Knight of Solamnia in a DL MUD years go. Pretty sad if this reboot it.

[HavardBlackmoor]

Please bring in Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman and Cam Banks for additional material! :)

Has anyone seen fizban’s hat? He’s been looking for it everywhere

May the Heroes of the Lance lie forever!

We need more dragonlance content. A GAME!!! such an easy transition, so many stories that would translate perfectly into a single player rpg, or multiplayer. Even mmo.

[BudLeiser]

Didn't recognize any characters, didn't feel like dragonlance. Hope the product is better than the teaser and better than the D&D movie.
