The Dragonlance Chronicles and many other books were written by Weis and Hickman. They have written so many remarkable books over their long careers, they have been bestsellers many times over and they deserve their place in the pantheon of fantasy authors.

Thank you for this one, and you nailed it.

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

Phew. Thank you!

Tracy & Margaret are 2 of my all time fav authors who made my fav character of all time. Raistlin. They just released a new book & I need to catch up!

@akashas6012 9 месяцев назад

I am a huge fan of Hickman & Weis. These are my favorite books to reread.

@EnlightenedSavage Месяц назад

I have been reading Weis and Hickman since the late 80s. I have rediscovered them recently after decades. I'm excited to read again.

@michaelhatem9803 Год назад

Thank you. These authors deserve a place among the greats in fsntasy. The Death Gate Cycle is in my top 5 best series.

I read Dragonlance every 2-3 years and have since they came out. huge fan of their work including Rose of the Prophet and Darksword trilogies, among others.

@StephenAryan44 8 месяцев назад

They had a huge impact on me as a teenager.

First played DnD in 1982 with TSR. The Dragon Lance Chronicles were fabulous both for table top and the novels - who can forget the Test of the Twins? I wrote many of my own fantasy stories as a youngster due to these. I still have the novels and the cartoon film. It was also put out as a radio chronicle at some point though I've never found it. Raistlin - I miss you! Everything you have said is true!!

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

Right!!! They deserve more acclaim and awareness in the fantasy genre outside those who play DnD because there are many fans who don't play DnD and so may not be aware of this pair of fantastic writers

@akashas6012 9 месяцев назад

I loved how you explained the olden days without Internet. Therefore magazine and interviews were real important for getting inside information.

@StephenAryan44 9 месяцев назад

They really were. Here in the UK it was the only way I found out what was going on with TV and books. There was a little on the radio for TV, but nothing for books. There were no podcasts, so I relied in magazines. It was the primary source of info, when a journalist spoke to a popular author in the SFF space.

got my first dragonlance novel as a gift in a c64 RPG game. little did i know. they fill a whole shelf now.

@StephenAryan44 11 месяцев назад

That's what I'm talking about!

@A_FROG_IN_TIME Год назад

Raistlin was one of my favourite characters as a kid. classic anti-hero. I also loved Terry Brooks and David Eddings. The Shannara Books (now 34 of them) were a staple of mine. the Belgariad had some awesome larger than life characters like Silk, Barak and Mandorallan. It was a happy time. Another great video Mr Aryan and a wonderful trip down nostalgia lane , thank you.

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

Thirty four? Wow. I read the early ones and loved them, but tailed off after a while and went to read other series.

@A_FROG_IN_TIME Год назад

@@StephenAryan44 Same here. I think I stopped after about 18 or so. I keep meaning to pick up new ones, but there is so much I want to read.

@hoodrichhaul7545 2 месяца назад

Yes Raistlin! AlsoI loved Flint and Tasselhoff's relationship.

@michaeltreon4034 11 месяцев назад

Death Gate Cycle was a great series that is slow building but snowballs quickly ...it took me 3 years to read the first book...I just had a hard time wrapping my head around it... took another year for book 2...almost gave up...the next 4 books I read in a span of 4 months...and it was amazing. sometimes I have a hard time focusing because of ADHD...but when my brain finally latches on... it's like a superpower... I read the chronicles, all 3 books in 1 day...

@StephenAryan44 11 месяцев назад

The authors and their work do not get enough praise by fans.

@chrispoland6891 9 месяцев назад

If I hit the lottery, I would make a movie about every book 😃

@columbo1977 Год назад

It does make me laugh when I point out to my kids that I grew up with no internet and no mobile phones, seems like a lifetime ago :)

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

They don't seem to understand 😄

@eugenemurphy6037 Год назад

Death Gate looks fantastic. Thank you for bringing us along. The name 'DragonLance' has always rung in my ear as a thing to be respected, but I assumed it was an early video game or a long cancelled cartoon . Clearly a lot of passion from those two writers, (and whoever illustrated! )

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

Dragonlance kicked off a huge world essentially that fed into D and D, but at the time, I had no clue. I just had some amazing books full of colourful characters going on an adventure. The Death Gate Cycle is fantastic.

@eugenemurphy6037 Год назад

@@StephenAryan44 They clearly left a great impression.

@chrish1645 Год назад

Fantastic video. I'd completely forgotten about Rose of the Prophet. I know I read those back in the day, but don't know that I could tell you the plot now. Another one that really stuck with me was the Star of the Guardians series by Margaret Weis. I particularly remember this one since I'd always been more into fantasy than Sci Fi, but it really resonated with me. I'm actually curious to know what I'd think of it almost 30 years later.

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

Ahhh, I never read those but I found out about them later on. Yeah I always wonder how I would feel about the series now so many years later.

@akashas6012 9 месяцев назад

I love both series

@akashas6012 9 месяцев назад

Star guardian is share small similarities with Star wars.

@mithas1808 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for stating the obvious. Dragonlance is a world that is either loved or hated but i always loved it. I own every novel and the new trilogy is great as well. The 3rd book comes out in August 2024 and i highly recommend them. Side note. Margaret is a great person in general. Always great to the fans and if you ever get the chance to meet her i highly recommend doing so. She (and I hope Tracy as well) will be at GenCon 2024 in Indianapolis for the release of the last novel in the trilogy. Side note 2. I also thought Tracy was a woman for years and i didn't get into Dragonlance until the 90's 😂

@StephenAryan44 9 месяцев назад

I will get to the new DragonLance books eventually. At some point! My TBR is always quite huge. Sadly, GenCon and a trip to America is a bit too expensive, but I have been hearing good things about GenCon for years!

@bookishlybookish Год назад

I'll be picking up the Twins Trilogy very soon off others' recommendations as well. I'm very much looking forward to it. As an aside, I was just approved for an ARC of your newest work and I'm hoping to pick it up next week. Very excited to jump in!

@StephenAryan44 Год назад

Ahhhh, exciting times! I hope you enjoy it.
