Sean MerwinHOST
What's said about this is lovingly curated series.
Sean MerwinHOST
This lovingly curated series brings together 100 of the greatest D&D novels ever written, From the ever-popular Legend of Drist to the groundbreaking Dragonlance Chronicles to the critically lauded Brimstone Angels.
Sean MerwinHOST
So it covers a wide range of novels from all the way back from the AD&D times up until recent novels.
Sean MerwinHOST
They're dividing the books into three categories, which is quite funny.
Def DaveHOST
So I want to bring the novels up because for me, my personal experience of Dragonlance, it's all about the novels.
Def DaveHOST
These are the first three Dragonlance novels, the first of which came out in 1984.
Def DaveHOST
We're looking at it now on video.
Def DaveHOST
The Dragons of Autumn Twilight.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
So the whiteboard basically shows an outline of a book, pretty much, chapter by chapter.
Russ MorrisseyHOST
What is interesting is it shows that the timeline is going to be the events of the Dragonlance Chronicles, the original Dragonlance Chronicles, as presented in the 80s.
Peter CoffeyHOST
And the time
Russ MorrisseyHOST
being when Dragon Highlord Ariakas dispatches the Dragon Lords and their armies across the World of Prim.
Dan Desai-MartinGUEST
So always been a reader, but then I got into fantasy novels.
Dan Desai-MartinGUEST
So I read everything from, you know, the Dragonlance Chronicles to, of course, Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones and Saba Tahir and, you know, a lot of modern fantasy authors as well.
Dan Desai-MartinGUEST
And so I think just when you read a lot of fantasy or whatever genre that you're in, you always kind of have those things in your mind of like, well, what if I were to write a book? Like, what would my world look like? What would my characters kind of be? And so that kind of just toyed around in my head, just kind of, you know, a couple characters and a broad sketch kind of of what a world would be and kind of what the ideas I'd want to explore.
Dan Desai-MartinGUEST
And then, you know, it's one of those things where as you're kind of drifting off to sleep and you're in that space where you're not quite awake, but you're not quite asleep.
ChadHOST
yeah those are the ones that just popped up it's like oh it's almost as if they're reading my mind over here they know exactly what they knew first they knew what to show there's
EvanHOST
a bunch of dungeons and dragons books you know there's like Here it's listing the Moonshade Trilogy, Finderstone Trilogy, Dragonlance Chronicles, obviously, Brimstone Angels, War of Souls Trilogy.
EvanHOST
Sure, but what about Drist? The Drist books are going to make up, what, 30% of this? So that's what everyone's here for, for sure.
EvanHOST
And Margaret Weiss, Tracy Hickman.
ZachHOST
It is something that even now, modernly, a little bit inspires lit RPGs and different kind of story because of its ties to tabletop gaming.
ZachHOST
And this is the Dragonlance Chronicles.
JimHOST
Huh, okay.
ZachHOST
Weiss and Hickman put together something really foundationally fun that shaped a generation of gamers and dreamers to love a world of magic, mystery, and dragons.

JimHOST
Even if you don't finish it, you should understand the style of what this is.
JimHOST
So I gave you The Lord of the Rings, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Shannara, The Rift War Cycle, and The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever.
JimHOST
Zach came in with The Wheel of Time, The Dragonlance Chronicles.
JimHOST
You weren't meaning all 100 plus books.
Jake BaerHOST
I'm tied to Wizards of the Coast, the company that does Dungeons and Dragons, but I could be wrong on that.
Jake BaerHOST
I know that I read a book of theirs, a series of theirs, when I was in high school that was called The Dragonlance Chronicles.
Jake BaerHOST
That's probably their most famous one.
Jake BaerHOST
But the Deathgate cycle was recommended to me just a couple years ago by a friend who As one of the only series he said he had ever read where each book gets better and better.
