So I was 15 in 89 when a classmate introduced me to the original trilogy DragonLance and I loved them. Sturm’s death was just heartbreaking even though I didn’t like him as a character (a testament to the brilliant writings of the authors) However my first introduction to D&D was pool of radiance on the C64 in 86. It was the novels that got me into tabletop with 2nd Ed but we never played Dragon Lance. The DM had his own world based on another fantasy novel with a one handed bard as the main character (I wish I could remember that novels’ name and google hasn’t been helpful) and I went onto DM with Ravenloft. Still have the books, the OT and the Twins, in Omnibus form (regret getting rid of my original 1st printing copies now). Maybe it’s time to crack them open again (20 years since I’ve read them I think?!) in celebration of 40 years. Thanks DragonLance you were my LOTR.
