http://davventura.altervista.org/dragons-of-flame-i-protagonisti/ il #concept del primo dei due #videogiochi nel mondo di #Krynn a non prendere in considerazione affatto la possibilità di ri-giocare in modo integrale le avventure di #Tanis, #Goldmoon e compagnia: #HeroesoftheLance era una riduzione di #DragonsofDespair/#IDraghidelCrepuscolodAutunno – Libro I, nel quale si prendevano in considerazione solo alcuni momenti salienti. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfGlA_bo41t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Today I was reminded that the first Dragonlance adventure had a musical segment where whoever was playing Goldmoon was encouraged to burst into song after accidentally dropping her healing crystal staff and it rolling over to cure anyone injured in the first fight. They had actual sheet music in the adventure for this. There were multiple verses.
The Chorus was "Riverwind where have you gone, oh Riverwind autumn comes on"
Riverwind is her boyfriend. He is literally standing next to her as she sings this chorus, and this changes the entire situation to feel incredibly passive-aggressive.
Anyway I am somehow still considering running Dragonlance but with Godbound as the base rules because Krynn absolutely needs a better class of gods than it has.
288. Tracy Hickman - DL1: Dragons of Despair (1984)
The first module in the Dragonlance campaign, Dragons of Despair is a completely new concept for an adventure module. Heavily focused on story it straddles the line between roleplaying game and interactive fiction, and where you fall in terms of opinion on the module completely depends on what experience you want from the game.
The interactive fiction element of the module is underlined by the fact that the module strongly advises, right from the start, that the party uses the pre-rolled characters included in the module. If you are familiar with Dragonlance these aren't just any characters, these are Tanis, Raistlin, Caramon, Tasslehof, Flint, Goldmoon and so on, these are central pieces of the story being told. Most central of all is Goldmoon who carries her Staff of Mishakal, an artifact of the gods that are supposedly gone from the world of Krynn. The module's main objective is to take Goldmoon to the Disks of Mishakal with which she will be able to restore Clerical powers to a world long abandoned by the gods.
The story is essentially the basis for the first book in Dragons of Autumn Twilight, so if you know that novel, it's up to finding Khisanth or Onyx, the black dragon in Xak Tsaroth in whose hoard the Disks can be found. With a beautiful and iconic cover by Clyde Caldwell and interior art by Jeff Easley, it's a revolutionary module, love it or hate it. Plenty more to come in the DL series!
