Join me as I explore The Dragonwand of Krynn 1 on 1 Adventure Gamebook by Greg Fahlgren and Nancy Fahlgren. This is the tenth game in the series of 1 on 1 Adventure Gamebooks, and the only one set in the world of Dragonlance. One player plays Lord Ariakan, Dragon Highlord. The other player plays Lord Patrick, Knight of Solamnia.
About The Dragonwand of Krynn
A New Kind of Game
Inside are two books for two players. One of you becomes Lord Patrick, Knight of Solamnia, while the other becomes Lord Ariakan, Dragon Highlord. You are both searching for the same thing: the fabled DragonWand of Krynn!
Enter the landlocked city of Tarsis, where you must first locate the ancient Temple of the Dragon. Once inside the temple, your mission is to find the powerful DragonWand before your opponent can reach it and use it for his own purposes.
It is a game filled with the huge dragons, the fierce draconians, and the wonderful magical artifacts that you’ve come to expect when you enter the adventure-filled world of the Dragonlance adventures. Everything you need to play is provided: two books, Combat Table, and Character Sheets. No dice are required. All you provide is one friend and two pencils!

- There are 11, 1 on 1 adventure gamebooks, this is the 10th and only one set in Dragonlance.
- Each story in this series was released as a boxed set containing two books. The books are designed for two players, with each person taking a different book and controlling different characters.
- Most of the stories are set in the worlds of TSR role-playing games (mainly Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Marvel Super Heroes), though the second book is a generic space opera.
