Step 2) Buy the Dragonlance Campaign Setting Step 3) Buy the Age of Mortals book Step 4) Read DLCS and AoM cover to cover. Twice. Step 5) Step 6) Profit Beyond those simple steps, read the following books: -Dragons of Autumn Twilight -Dragons of Winter Night -Dragons of Spring Dawning -The three Legends books (can't remember the specific names, but all contain "Twins" in the title) -Second Generation -Dragons of Summer Flame -War of Souls Trilogy (again, can't remember specific titles all are "Dragons of..." books with star, moon, and sun references) That's if you want a very in depth, awesome Dragonlance game. Of course, this isn't all required, just a really good idea. The short list? Step 1) PHB, DMG, MM, DLCS, AoM. Buy them. Step 2) Read the PHB pages 1-180. Step 3) Read the Adventuring and Campaigns sections of the DMG. Step 4) Read the DLCS cover to cover. Step 5) Read AoM cover to cover. Step 6) Find players. Step 7) Start planning the adventures. Step 8) Step 9) Profit -TRRW

#4 theredrobedwizard Apr 24, 2004 9:44:13	Ah, War of Chaos setting. There's a sidebar in the DLCS about failing magic during the Chaos war and leeching magic items post-Chaos war. [tangental sidebar type dealy] My only caution for the AoM book is to watch out for the artwork. It's a mixed bag at best. Some is REALLY good (Academy Sorcerer, Legion of Steel members, etc.) While some is REALLY bad (Solamnic Auxilliary Mage, Rogue Knight, Citadel Mystic, etc.). On a related note, I nominate whomever drew the Academy Sorcerer to draw everything for Dragonlance from here to eternity. Seriously, that person has talent. [/tangental sidebar type dealy] -TRRW

Seriously, that person has talent. Yep. Jason Engle's work is quite spectacular. I don't know that I'd want to see him do *all* the artwork however. I'd like to see Engle, Matt Stawicki, and Ron Spencer get the lion's share of the work, with an occassional piece by Todd Lockwood or Wayne Reynolds. Oh yeah, that Elmore guy too.

Of course, it can also give you too much to think about at one time :P

While the DLCS is weak in the Geography department (sad considering the huge font and borders and the amount of material they had to draw from), it does provide enough information that a good DM can wing it.
