Ok, for a while I have been trying to assemble a list of D&D products that include any reference, even trace to Dragonlance. Spelljammer, Planescape and Ravenloft are the easy ones. But there are also references in non-campaign core products as well as unlikely places like Forgotten Realms items. Here are items I know or suspect (I don't own them all yet) to have trace references to DL.

Novels:
Knight of the Black Rose
Tales of Ravenloft
Spectre of the Black Rose
Finder's Bane
Tymora's Luck
Beyond the Moons
Into the Void
The Maelstrom's Eye
The Radiant Dragon
The Broken Sphere
The Ultimate Helm

I believe only the three Ravenloft books above have DL links, but if there are any others please let me know. If anyone has read the Planscape novels I would be interested to know if there are any references in those.

Gaming Products:

AD&D Core Products:
AD&D Castles boxed set
AD&D College of Wizardry
AD&D Complete Book of Dwarves
AD&D Complete Book of Elves
AD&D Complete Book of Gnomes and Halflings
AD&D Complete Book of Paladins
AD&D Dungeons of Mystery boxed set

Spelljammer Setting:
Spelljammer: AD&D in Space
War Captain's Companion
Legend of Spelljammer
Krynnspace game accessory
Complete Spacefarer's Handbook

Ravenloft Setting:

Core Rulebooks
Realm of Terror (Black Box)
Ravenloft Campaign Setting (Red Box)
Domains of Dread

Adventures
Book of Crypts
Neither Man Nor Beast
Servants of Darkness
The Evil Eye
When Black Roses Bloom
Death Unchained
Death Ascendant
Requiem: The Grim Harvest

Sourcebooks
Carnival
Champions of the Mists
Children of the Night: Ghosts
Children of the Night: Vampires
Children of the Night: Werebeasts
Darklords
Ravenloft Appendix to the Monstrous Compendium, Vol. I ,II, III
Van Richten’s Guide to Ghosts
Van Richten’s Guide to the Ancient Dead
Van Richten's Guide to The Created

Planescape Setting:
Planescape Campaign Setting
Planes of Law
Planes of Conflict
Planes of Chaos

A Guide to the Astral Plane
A Guide to the Ethereal Plane
Faction War
In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil
On Hallowed Ground
Tales from the Infinite Staircase
The Factol's Manifesto
The Planewalker's Handbook
Uncaged: Faces of Sigil

Forgotten Realms Setting:
Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (1st Edition)

Ok, so what I am looking for is if you know of something that I don't have on this list, please post the product including the reference if you know it. If you see something on this list you own and know it has no DL reference, please tell me also.

Thanks,

Oblique references to Soth and other Krynnish elements can be found in some of the 3E Ravenloft products as well:

RAVENLOFT Campaign Setting (and the new, ill-favored 3.5 update, the RAVENLOFT Player's Handbook).
Secrets of the Dread Realms
Van Richten's Arsenal
Ravenloft Gazetteer I
Heroes of Light
Ravenloft Gazetteer IV (this one contains the Sithicus writeup, including a stat line for the 'Black Rose'. Death Knight Ex-Pal9/Blk6, CE.)

The Encyclopedia Magica Volumes I - IV are also a great source of DL goodies, mostly magic items but there are very detailed descriptions of many DL artifacts and such.

Yes, oh and the Wizard's Spell Compendium vol I - IV also. I would have to double check the Priest's Spell Compedium vol I - III to see if they have them too.

Oh, that reminds me, Baldur's Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights have DL references too.

Anyone have the 2e Monstrous Manual? I have heard the death knight entry in it lists Soth

What were the ones in Neverwinter Nights? I definately remember the Balder's Gate one because of the infinite golden girdles you could get with the infinite amount of 45,000 XP cheat/error thing... Not that I cheated. Ever. Not that I had two strongholds or anything. Nope. But NWN?

It mentions him, but does not list him.

pddisc: there was a post on this board some weeks ago about a bag of holding which has in its description some tall tale about belonging to a kender, etc.

EDIT: found the thread: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145967&highlight=neverwinter+nights

I am unfamiliar with that cheat and how it references DL, can you explain it?

In the Hero Builders Guidebook (worst waste of $15.95 ever!) in the bit about efective RPing of a weakness it foucses on everyone's favorite gold skined wizard.
