Any fans out there? :D

You're asking on a nerd themed forum if there are D&D fans? How the hell has this thread gotten no replies after 20 minutes??

I certainly miss seeing games based on dragonlance, it felt like a more consistent world than forgotten realms which feels like a giant mass of patches and random additions

Not a "fan" fan, but I like the games and books enough...

Yeah. I agree about FR. DragonLance all seemed to follow a single line.

I'm a nut for DragonLance.

Tanis, Laurana, Raistlin, Caramon, Tasslehoff, Riverwind, Goldmoon, Flint, Sturm... the list goes on.

Special mention to Larry Elmore of course - his art pretty much defined DragonLance for me.

I NEVER could get that fucking 386 game to work for me :( Found it in an op shop on floppy disc (that was just before the floppies got completely phased out so I DID have an a: drive) but the computer was too advanced.

That would be an instabuy for me.

Never did play the board games / rules / etc - never found anyone to play with or teach me. Damn.

I have been looking for a group since my old group fell apart. My Paladin is sitting too idle v.v

And who could forget Bupu and her crucial role?

My favorite instalments would have to be the Twins trilogy/saga.

The Heritage(I think thats the right one) with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. :)

And I like the Meeting Sextet. But I loved reading about Huma! Made me want a Knight of Solamnia....well almost.

Me too.

I read more FR (mainly Salvatore), but I did read the main DL trilogy. Although, I wasn't that invested in them, and much preferred when Soth ended up in Ravenloft.

Salvatore wrote good books. Did ya know? He is also part of the Everquest publishers :D

Yes, unfortunately we owe him that Rogue's hour piece of shit. I now understand why most people I know avoid anything that comes from that guy.

FR are not unpleasant books for the most part, but easily forgettable.

I actually liked Rogues Hour. Then again, I played EverQuest for a few years.

That is a terrible thing, to try and dupe people into reading his pseudo-pulp crap.

I tried going back recently and rereading several books I liked as a teenager. The Magaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman Dragonlance and Death Gate Cycle books, Timothy Zahn's entirely too damn long Star Wars novels, and they just weren't any fun anymore, never mind that they're fine in technical writing detail, but there's nothing exciting about the tone. Contrast anything they've written with, say, the first three books of Stephen King's Dark Tower series, or the insanely...well, insanely insane and awesome Acts of Caine novels.

But I'm always up for a good game of D&D, preferably 3rd edition. I'm kinda surprised there isn't a turn-based game going in a thread here, honestly.
