The twins as I know them are Caramon and Raistlin. I think that Kitiara is related to Raistlin too but they are not billed as the twins. ~~~
#3 zombiegleemax Jun 02, 2004 12:20:44	:headexplo not know who the twins are??? :headexplo caramon&raistlin are twins, kitiara is their older sister.
#4 brimstone Jun 02, 2004 12:47:36	Actually...they're both right. Caramon and Raistlin are the twins. Caramon is the brother, Raistlin is the sister. The clues are there for those who wish to see them.

I'm back on alt.fan.dragonlance! Actually, I almost had a picture commissioned for Age of Mortals that had Lord Soth's helmet turned upside down with a petunia growing out of it, but decided that would just be too silly.

Unfortunately...I can never remember the link to that essay on the subject. If someone has it...they should post it again...it's been about a year or more since the last discussion. :D

That would have been hillarious!!! As a piece of art...it could have been an excellent memorial. Lord Soth's helmet out in a field...half burried in the ground with a flower growing out of it; a crumbled and collapsed Dargaard Keep in the back ground looming over everything. That would have been beautiful...and would have worked on two levels as an inside joke, too. Ah well...what a loss though.

Lord of the Rings is a DL Rip Off
#14 brimstone Jun 02, 2004 15:36:45	Originally posted by Kipper Snifferdoo I believe the DLU has it here...Raistlin is a Woman Well...I mean really...it's either "Raistlin is a woman" or "Raistlin and Dalamar are gay lovers." Take your pick.

#16 zombiegleemax Jun 02, 2004 21:17:47	If those were not the most stupid articles I ever read, the abyss take them.
#17 talinthas Jun 02, 2004 21:26:17	Dude, those are classics. Dragonlance online fandom is built off of a long and storied history debating whether raist was a woman, or if tanis was gay, or if soth was a potted plant. A lot of us dinos cut our teeth on these discussions years ago =) And jamie, i'd pay money for a painting of soth's helm and petunia =) Hell, thats what i'm going to call his Nightmare now. Petunia, the ever living =)

Jamie Chambers Sovereign Press, Inc. Should have gone with a rose, dude. Have it to the side of the helm, showing that from death, there was life. Then again, that's me being cheesy. ;) BTW, Brim, you get negative XP for bringing the "Raistlin is a woman" thread back to life. :P
#19 maladaar Jun 02, 2004 23:04:40	First off, someone please send that kid a copy of the LotR Trilogy with the dates that the stories were written highlighted. Second, what chemical is that other moron on (the one that wrote the Raistlin is a woman article)? I am sure whatever it is that is an illegal substance. Stupidity does not discriminate...and anyone can show flashes of it from time to time (including myself).
#20 talinthas Jun 02, 2004 23:31:40	Does the term Satire mean anything to you?
#21 quentingeorge Jun 03, 2004 1:41:00	Irony? Isn't that like goldy or bronzey?
#22 maladaar Jun 03, 2004 2:08:42	Was it satire? If so, it went completely over my head. In my defense though, I do work the zombie shift and sometimes become a numskull. As I said, stupidity does not discriminate...and I have just been bushwhacked.
#23 talinthas Jun 03, 2004 2:23:35	heh. no harm done. Dragonlance Underground is a website formed by a bunch of disgruntled DL fans for the express purpose of making fun of dragonlance =) A lot of old injokes from the news group and mailinglist found their way there, and whenever newbies stumble upon it, hilarity ensues, cause they never get the joke =)
#24 zombiegleemax Jun 03, 2004 8:38:54	:whatsthis That whole site(Dragonlance Underground) is corny. ~~~
#25 brimstone Jun 03, 2004 9:39:59	Originally posted by Dragonhelm BTW, Brim, you get negative XP for bringing the "Raistlin is a woman" thread back to life. :P I told you...it wasn't my fault. You saw the first post of the thread...I couldn't help myself...it's a conditioned response. heh heh I think Dragonlance Underground is a hillarious website. I love Dragonlance dearly...but let's face it, there are a lot of things to poke holes in, and it can be quite funny to do so. That being said...I still agree that the Raistlins are probably on something. ;)
