Dragonlance
Dragonlance is a D&D universe originally created by Laura and Tracy Hickman. Dragonlance is set on the world of Krynn. Various races that diverge away from the traditional fantasy races such as elf, dwarf and halfing are introduced within this world, the most notable being the draconians; the draconians being a humanoid race created from the corruption of a dragons egg.
A range of novels were produced beginning with “Dragons of Autumn Twilight”. This series of books comes as a highly recommended read for any fantasy novel fan, and can be obtained in a full chronicles trilogy book. The stories detail the adventures of a group of friends Tanis, Sturm, Caramon, Raistlin, Flint, Tasslehoff and Kitiara Uth Matar, who intend to meet up after being seperated for several years. Kitiara is unable to attend leaving only a mysterious note to explain her absence…
What comes next is a roller-coaster ride of discovery, ambition, desperation and adventure that will keep you gripped to the very last page. The books are second only to the Lord Of The Rings in my opinion.
A series of D&D reference material and gaming modules were also produced based around the novels and the world and it’s creatures.
The miniatures produced to go with TSR products are now getting rather uncommon, and will soon enter the rare category. Bargains can still be had if you can find them…
