Anybody out there reading TSR's "Dragonlance" series? If not, you should be. If you are, who do you think will get killed-off next and what do you think Rastlin's role in all this is? Also, Fizban appears as a senile old wizard in the first novel but in the second he has periods of complete command. Any comments? Lastly, who is the 'emerald gem man' the bad guys keep talking about? steve avsdS:steve AMPEX

(September! Oh that is sooo far away). Killed off next? I don't know. I wasn't very pleased when Sturm died. He was, after all, a good guy. Furthermore, he was above politics, and wasn't afraid to say so, even at the cost of his life long ambition (or so he thought). Raistlin's role is an easy one...His own. He is the personification of a neutral person I have ever seen. He wants power, for himself. Simple. Fizban is a different story. I have NO doubt about who Fizban REALLY is, but I won't say here, in case you haven't figured it out. If you really want to know what I think, then send me mail. Who is the Green Gemstone Man? I don't know. Who out there is also playing the DragonLance Modules? Generally, I don't like modules, but this series (once DL5 came out) is very good. Well designed and doesn't need lots of modification. You have one definate set purpose, as opposed to "wiping everything in the module out". -- David Corbin Georgia Institute of Technology Box 34034 Atlanta GA 30332 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!dave ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!dave

You'll remember that at the end, although the Star-jewel's light had died, it later 'glowed' or at least showed some light.....so... What about the other Books, the one about Rastlin and the story about the battle for the hammer (I must say that caught me totally off guard. I thought that I had missed a book, or the final fifty pages of the last one.) I can't find them anywhere (It was hard enough finding the first two.) Jim Sullivan

(No flame intended). I just didn't want to force that on anyone that didn't realize it, even if it was labeled spoiler...What other books are you refering too? There are two "Super Endless Quest" books that are related to the series but far from necessary. As for the hammer, you see they didn't novelize ALL the parts of the DragonLance adventure(modules). You might also notice that they briefly skip over the whole story of DL6 (recapturing the DragonLance and orb from the Ice Wall.) -- David Corbin Georgia Institute of Technology Box 34034 Atlanta GA 30332 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!dave ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!dave

I remember reading somewhere in Dragon that all of the story-lines wouldn't be published as novelizations. This allows you to both read the novels and play the modules without having too much 'precognition' of events. steve
