My Friend And I Have Read Every Dragonlance Novel In Existance That We Know Of...we Would Love To Experience It As A Game; However, I Just Noted That They Were Calling It A Halt On Production. Tell Me It Ain't So...tell Me Soon That I'll Be Able To Journey Into Krynn By Visual Instead Of Words.

It is just a Entry Level Boxed Set that they arent producing, not the whole Dragonlance Gaming Line.

Dragonlance as a campaign settgin has been out for well over a year, now. They have about 7 books out already, with plenty more on the way. THey simply cancelled a box set that they were going to release that would D&D Adventure game, which was basically a re-release of the first DL Module(at least, that's what I was led to belive, I may be mistaken). If you look at the bottom of the article, it says quite plainly that Sov Press is planning many more great upcoming Dragonlance products.

PS: I may understand people simply skimming the article if it were long, buts it's only a few sentences, people!

Okay, who's starting these rumors anyway?

Trust me, Dragonlance gaming will be around for a long time to come.

Well, well, well. If it isn't Darthsylver, from PNN, spreading his media lies. I bet it was you who started these nasty rumors!

(Note that I've worked in TV and advertising for the last 13 years. :D )

:fight!: Put the flame down son. It will be alright, please just put down the flame. Nobody wants to burn here.

Don't like the purifying power of the flame, do we?

Very well. I'll use my psionic powers instead! IMAGE(http://www.geocities.com/flammabledragon/psion.TXT)

Now watch, as I erase the very knowledge of these nasty rumors from everyones' minds...

Rats, Green Cloaked Sorcerer casted Dispel Non-Canon Material on me! So much for my Summon Half-Drow/Half-Orc Were-Ostrich spell...

Very well. I shall now have to resort to using gnomish devices.

Briiiiing!

"ONSTAR Emergency. Please hold..."



"ONSTAR. How may I assist you?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm stuck here on the Dragonlance boards, and there's a rumor that Dragonlance gaming is being cancelled, but it's just the Dragonlance Adventure Game boxed set."

"Have you tried using your psionic powers to erase everyone's memory?"



"Uh, yeah, but this Green Cloaked Sorcerer guy came along and casted a spell on me, taking away all my anti-canon powers."

"One moment please."

*elevator music plays*

"Her name was Lola. She was a showgirl...."

"Sir, your car door should be unlocked now."

"What the....? Look, lady, I don't need my car door unlocked. Heck, this is DRAGONLANCE. There are no cars."

"There's not?"

"NO! Oh, forget it. I'm out of here. Stupid ONSTAR...."

BOOM! :headexplo


The moral of the story, folks, is that rumors lead to gnomish devices exploding. Then again, gnomes do well enough on that account all on their own. ;)

Psionics are optinal. Must everyone forget that?! Just because i don't play with them doesn't mean they aren't allowed. . .

Sorry bud, this is Dragonlance...so that'd have to be an Austrich. (if one were to ignore the drow/orc/lycanthropy stuff. :D)

We at least got to keep the Austrich...even if we did lose the griffin.

Haysoos Kristus!!! I'm glad I read this thread. When I first saw the announcement, I thought DL was being entirly canceled also. Sheesh. Now that I reread it, I see that it's just the box set thing. Whew. Thank you guys for clearing it up.

I think what he meant was that, while Psionics as a whole are an optional rule, Dragonlance doesn't include them, canonwise. One could include them in the setting, but to do so would be adding in an entire new magic system that the books don't possess.
