P.S. in the 2nd edition, Dragonlances do the weilder's HP in damage, while mounted Dragonlances did Riders HP + Mount's HP damage.
Aha! Thank you, where did they put that info?
LOL ^_^
I just made the same reply, more or less (should have read the other comments first).
I did mention in my reply how, in the Dragonlance comic, they used a clever trick to kill a young white dragon (Lance Holder on shoulders of Horse Rider atop Horse! ^_^)
@@AJPickett It was in one of the Dragonlance supplements, and I'm almost certain it was the "Dragonlance Adventures" worldbook, although I could be wrong (and I don't have the .pdf, and would have to dig out my collection from storage to be sure):

I think the second campaign setting book had the same rule, while the "5th age" marked the campaign setting taking a major turn away from it's past.
Dear Palandine, that is Painful!
You can’t give me enough dragonlance. Those books made me start playing the game. Whether they publish more or not, we can keep it going one table at a time.
Great video. I don't know much about Dragonlance. More, please.
Read the books they were all i read in highschool
The description of wielding the hammer with flimsy arms, is priceless 😁😂
I loved Dragonlance back in Middle School. This was my intro to the fantasy genre.
Dragonlance and ThAC0 are tied in my mind because we were puzzled by it as kids when dragonlance adventures came out.
By Reorx's beard, hammer, and anvil I've waited so long for some Dragonlance videos! What kind of a doorknob of a kender would give this a thumbs down? Thank you, kind sir!
That got a big smile from me. Well done.
Hello AJ, I have been watching your channel for years & years now. Never seen you do a Dragonlance video before. I still remember when Sturm died, it was "inconceivable" at that point in time in the books. Looking forward to your next Dragonlance video, but I'm always looking forward to your next video.
Thanks AJ & have a wonderful day.
Kids new to the series Strum didn't this guy must be mistaken
Maurice , my old DM / friend/ tutor/ mentor/ care-giver/ guide/nerd guru/ Family... named his son Tanis. He LOVES dragon lance.
The most amazing scene in dragonlance is when the bronze dragon fireflash has a conversation with Tasslehoff Burrfoot (a Kender) and his friend/father figure Flint Fireforge (a dwarf) it happens in Dragons of Spring Dawning, book 3 of the first Dragonlance trilogy and I recommend you guys check out the books!
There was a game back in the 80s called Dragonstrike where you could ride good dragons and use the dragonlance against the chromatic dragons in Krynn during the War of the Lance. Awesome game for the time. It was first person view and flew like a simulator. There were even manticore and death dragons. The breath weapons were all accurate to all dragons, too.
I love dragonlance, I've stop buying wotc products until they allow Weis and Hickman to finish their novels.
It's the only language corporations understand... sales.
Happy Happy Joy Joy! AJ does some Dragonlance!
@@Michael_G980 Was that a God Damned Ren&Stimpy reference???
I'm doing the same...which sucks because I was really looking forward to Tasha's.
@@BenC...1975 me too!
Fun bit of info you mention Kaz the minotuar, Kaz wielded a dragonlance that transformed into an axe named Honor's Face wich revealed a persons alignment in the reflection of its surface, I do not know if Honor's Face was unique among the lances or if they all had this ability.
That sounds pretty unique
This is brings back memories. Not being able to be above lvl 18. Whole pantheon of gods deciding to leave. The novels. The dragons where insane and beyond apex. And the moons! Like an old girlfriend, it's bitter sweet.
Ever played the Gold Box games? They were awesome!
A perfect response to the recent happenings. Thank you as always, AJ.
Finally someone doing Dragonlance Lore!!! Awesome! This channel could single handedly resurrect what was the most popular D&D setting for over a decade.
We played the Dragonlance campaign series in high school back in the 80s. None of the players had heard of the books. We played two characters each. I say played, but really it was the most railroaded campaign I've ever seen. At times, the DM was literally reading 'our' dialog out of the novel he kept under the table. Once we had finished the campaign portion through "Dragons of Autumn Twilight", he allowed us to read the books. Hooked. Immediately. I read "Dragons of Winter Night" in school the next day, hiding it under the desk or a notebook. I played Sturm, and I had 'accidentally' seen the Elmore artwork depicting his death and had to know how "I" was going to die. The campaign died of course, because we knew all the right decisions to make and he figured out we had all read the books.
I've re-read Chronicles and Legends over many times since, and most of the prequels, sequels, side trips and lore. Krynn is the world I compare all fantasy to, and the Companions of the Lance are my mental archetype of every class. I was really looking forward to new material from them until SOMEBODY had to go and screw that up. THOSE guys, whoever THEY are, must be total Aholes.
To see WOTC screwing over writers is so hypocritical it makes my blood boil. It’s because of writers that do many settings have been elevated and have such rich lore and ideas for their settings.
Thanks so much for making a video on Dragonlance and the story for its setting
It has always struck me as odd how WOTC seemed to want to keep the novels, especially the better novels, at arm’s length.
Yea I been hoping for new dragonlance for 15years now. And to hear this man 2020 worst year ever.

Dragonlance, you are calling me home A.J.
Dragonlance is what got me into Dungeons and Dragons.
Dragonlance was my first D&D campaign ever. The same time as NES dragonlance video game. Later I started reading Margret Wise and Tracey Hickman novels. All of them! Plus various other authors. Jean Rabe was another favorite. Thank you for the fond memories!
Finally a big dnd channel covering dragonlance.
THANKYOU AJ!!! We asked and you obliged! It's crazy its happened a bunch of times that whenever I'm either reading about a certain faerunian subject, looking for a rundown of a D&D monster (the night walker) or I happen to be reading or rereading a series of book, I get lucky and you happen to cover it right around the same time. Thankyou for everything sir, maybe you can write Fizzban a cheat sheet so he can finally remember that spell he always forgets. Which one was it.....fire somthing??😏😉😊
I would love to see a TH-camr do an entire series on the Dragonlance novels!
Lol i tried looking it up today. It led me here Glad i found this at least
Dragonlance does not get enough love in my opinion.
Man i hope Margaret and Tracy win their suit with WotC
Yeah.
Humble beg for a Fistandantillis/Raistlin video? Anyone else like to see that?
Fizban, or gully dwarves.
Heck, I hope he just runs through the whole setting.
Yes!!
Great timing on this AJ! What with current events and all. I still DM a 2nd Edition game that we have currently been playing a Forgotten Realms campaign for 11 months now. In this time, the PCs have been transported to a homebrew isle of terror in Ravenloft, they have been in space, introducing Spelljammer, and I introduced many aspects of Dark Sun in the Anauroch Desert. We are currently playing the 2nd Edition Dragon Mountain box set which I have placed an item needed for the campaign in the main treasure hoard. Dragon Mountain hops between worlds and planes of existence. I was kicking around the idea of running some Dragonlance in our campaign, but after the lawsuit, I am definitely doing it. Dragon Mountain is going to hop to Krynn with the PCs inside of it. It might not be an official thing, but the Dragonlance setting will live on in home D&D games. I have the 1st Edition Dragonlance Adventures campaign sourcebook (Written by Weis and Hickman), as well as the 2nd Edition Tales of the Lance box set and the Time of the Dragon box set (Probably won't use in this campaign). So I'm well equipped to let the PCs bumble around Ansalon for a while as they figure out how to get back to the Realms. I'll throw some very Dragonlancey stuff at them, like Draconians. Also, the party mage is going to be forced to take the Test at the Towers of High Sorcery in Palanthus, or be executed as a renegade mage. I ran a Dragonlance campaign 30 years ago or so and haven't been back to that world since. It'll be nice to go back for a little while.
The Dragonlance setting was extremely important to me when I was growing up... I still have a collection of like 4 dozen books of it. I'm sort of tempted to reread most of it tbh.
Do readings and post them on youtube!
Given how common polymorphing, shapeshifting, and even magical illusions are in D&D, I wonder how common getting catfished by an entirely different species is in its world.
Damn it Bright
Dr. Bright is now no longer allowed to use SCP’s or other anomalous means to alter his appearance
"abolethed?"
Unlike a catfish, the mages/sorcerers, can hold their illusion in place, face to face. I never even thought of the "romantic" possibilities available to those living in a D&D world. I'd spend decades chasing me some Grazz't! He's been my fictional crush since the 90's! I'm too jealous to fool with a man-ho like him though! Never mind the risk of dealing with a jealous Iggwilv/Tasha!
More Dragonlance please!??
Duncan Ironweaver: "I said slay the dragon not lay the dragon!"
Huma Dragonbane:"..."
dragonlance was the first series of books i got majorly into with the legend of huma being the first book i read so quite glad to see videos on them hopefully see more as well
I think I just had a D&D gasm
Alright, now you need to do a super long video about all the different draconians!
"Dry spaghetti in a baseball bat made of hotdog meat"?

Guess ill be waiting a while huh...
Awwwman I’m at the bar IVE BEEN WAITING for DRAGONLANCE VIDEOS
God I've waiting for someone to cover dragonlance. Thank you soooo mush for this!!!!!
What if Raistlen didnt sacrifice himself and ruled over his dead world? Would he have eventually populated it with creatures? What would they have been? In this dead world could there still be Dragonlances? Or the instructions on how to make then?
The Party is seeking a legendary weapon to use in the Dragon War brewing on Toril. They have arrived on a dead world with only one constellation of stars. Could it be an hour glass? "Where have you brought us Mage"? "This is Krynn... tread carefully"😈😈
@Ts I like to imagine after ruling over the dead universe for awhile He would eventually learn to create. That's just me though 😁🍸
It's AJ's channel. He has the right to make any video he wants and talk about any topic he wants.
Sure, Express why you Hate Dragonlance, everyone is entitled to that, But to tell somebody how to run their channel because you don't like what they do, is really a Strong pet peeve of Mine and many many people So please for the love of Mitra stop feeling like these people owe you.
its my channel, I do what I want.
@@AJPickett if it wasn't for the Legend of Huma Novel I wouldn't have found d&d. Iconic characters like Tanis Half Elven, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, Flint Fireforge , Raistlin, Tika, Sturm Brightblade. All made me wish I was in that type of world, imagine my suprise as a kid when I discovered I could play in a game where all my heroes existed.
got to love that classic dragon lance art!
Raistlin kept me from having kids in my teens
Yeah, I suspect he was radioactive.
Birth Control Books.
I never knew Dragonlance books were Dungeons and Dragons stuff. They were the second fantasy novels I read after Lord of the Rings and at the time (5th grade i think) I remember being dismayed at how much more powerful Raistlin seemed than Gandalf. I only ever got my hands on 4 of them, a spring, autumn, and winter one and then another written from the point of view of the draconians. I always wanted to read more, at least the summer one. That was about 25 years ago lol.
I believe the adventures were written before the books. because a lot of the characters personality traits were based on their players portrayal of them.
Apparently Raistlin's whisper came because all the players we're either actors of some sort, or experience D&D players, and while everyone was yelling over one another trying to claim the spotlight, Raistlin's player just started whispering. The entire table fell dead silent to hear what he was saying. So they put it in the book.
So basically the first three books were a condensed campaign journal.
I like that musical tune that you have playing in the background.
Thank you, took me 40 minutes to find the right loop track.
First off thank you so much for doing this video! I know us long time Dragonlance fans pester you enough about doing videos about our cozy lil home on Krynn as is so a heartfelt thanks for doing it justice in such a short video! Aside form that, in looking up the name of the Defenders of Magic books that I reference in another comment I had a sudden realization: much like the early days of Rock n Roll where so many legends came from the same area of London(The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc.) Dungeons and Dragons has a very similar story coming out of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Might I humbly request you do a video(s) on this magical time, place, and group of people who would create this universe inside of a universe that we all love so much?
Great video AJ love item lore videos
And now for the other magical artifact that made Raistlin famous, and was named after Magius, the second bearer of the staff. Even the Infamous Fistandantilus had the legendary staff. If I recall, even Palin, Raistlin's nephew once held the staff.
wait, where you getting that Fistandantilius had the Staff of Magius?
@@minnumseerrund probably from the legends trilogy when raistlin "became" fistandantilus.
That is actually the exact things that happened in one of our campaigns. After beating the big bad of that arc we ended up getting transported from the Forgotten Realms to the Dragonlance setting due to magic funkiness. It was a ton of fun since unlike the Forgotten Realms, only the DM knew anything about the setting. It was literally a whole new world for us players and our characters. One of the characters even ended up staying there when it was finally time to go home.
AJ, let people know where Death Knights came from and how Lord Soth is the example for all death knights in all realms. It was one of the best creations of the Dragonlance setting. How it spread even to Azeroth from Warcraft.
Death knights were in the Fiend Folio, released a few years before dragonlance.
I loved the dragonlance novels and would love more content on alternate primes.
Would love to hear a video on the knights of Solamnia. Or pretty much anything more about dragonlance lore
More Dragonlance material please. I read all the books so its good to see the lore on youtube from a good youtuber. Thanks!!!
Man. I love this series. If you do any videos about the specific characters, will you PLEASE do Sturm Brightblade? He and Luke Skywalker were the greatest heroes of my childhood/young adulthood, and really shaped who I became as an adult.
I always loved sturm growing up.
I met Larry Elmore and got him to sign my Autumn Twilight!!!!!
There is also apparently another type of "dragon" weapon known as a Dragonflail which iirc is a Dragonlance in all but form as it was a long chain with a huge sphere at the end.
It's from one of the 2e books but I don't remember which. We ended up finding one in a treasury room in an old ruin.
Luckily we never ended up being forced to use it.
We kept it around just in case because at the very minimum it was an incredibly rare and powerful weapon that didn't need to end up in the wrong hands.
When you’re Lawful Good but your favorite dragons are the blues....maybe there’s a Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil Blue Who would suffer my presence
The weirdest thing about Dragonlance is that Law and Chaos were not alignment principles until near the end of the Age of Despair. There were only Good, Neutral and Evil. The spawning of the Father Chaos changed that, along with a lot of other things.
MY GOD THERE IS A FIRE OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been watching your channel for at least a year. This video is the one that made me acually subscribe
Thanks Chris. 🧙♂️
I don't know much about Dragonlance. Do you think you'll do any lore videos on it in the future? I remember your Kender video but I don't remember any other Krinn-specific videos
I might do, depends on the views.
Hearing about the hammer gave me an idea for my artifice heavy campaign. Thanks for all this awesome info AJ!
The D&D background lore is probably the best expansive fictional universe. It beats 40k, MTG, Battletech, the Marvel and DC cosmologies, Fate, probably Wheel of Time, arguably the Cthulhu mythos and many of the other universes it takes inspiration from. All that rivals it in greatness is The Legendarium itself and real world mythologies.
One more thing! The hero’s feast dnd cook book that just came out is full of dragon lance easter eggs!!!
Yay!
This is great to go along with the lawsuit currently in play
Yes please. More Dragonlance lore videos
giving some love to this comment because YES
Ditto.
Jolly Good Fun! ☠️🏴👍🏼
As a side note the Cloakmaster cycle from the Spelljammer setting actually started on Krynn.
Hello TH-cam algorithm. Hope you feel better soon.
That dragonlance setting going through a lawsuit
Keep up the good work AJ!
I am very glad you covered this, as Dragonlance can really be a fun alternative setting, and the legendary weapons that inspire the name are really cool! Still, this does bring me to one of my own personal problems with it; getting the most out of a mount like a Dragon. I'm sure almost as many players dream of having a character ride a Dragon, as they do killing one, but I struggle to figure out how it makes a good configuration for combat? Powerful dragons are really big, so I'm not even always sure how using a weapon from atop one is meant to work, and so often, it seems that it would work better if the rider was an archer, or spellslinger, rather than wielding a sword, or even a Lance, with reach. It just seems like the Dragon is best served to stay aloft, and breathe foes to death, while darting around, waiting for that breath weapon to recharge, so it seems like the rider would be hard-pressed to contribute,yet Githyanki Knights, and Dragon Riders of Krynn, keep focusing on melee weapons. Oh well, they are still awesome, as are the mighty god-forged weapons they use to lay low evil!
Yeah, I would imagine dragons really just fly themselves and the rider is effectively just the siege weapon gunner. (make Beep Boop noises, you are now basically an Astromech)
Magical dragon killing Lance's, dragon riders. Sounds a mass up of 1981's Dragonslayer and Eragon.
All very true. However, folks shouldn’t sign a contract and then bail on it in conflict with the terms they themselves insisted be written into that contract.
Totally Sweet! :)
Now do the bloodstone amulet of Fistandantilus.
Easy for you to say...

My favourite books in dragonlance would probably have to be the doom brigade and draconian measures
Dragonlance has always been a love it or hate it setting. But I am waiting for the outcome of Dragonlance lawsuit, to see if I am switching to pathfinder.
Now this is my bread & butter!
So technically, Theros forged imperfect Dragonlance, because he didn't use the hammer (game mechanics give those a +2) vs true lances which need both the hammer and the arm to forge (mechanically means a +4).
Also, as far as planes-hoping goes, bear in mind most clerics lose their powers unless they convert the Ansalon gods, the mages will the rogue until they take the test of the towers, Druids will be powerless (normally - I homebrew Druids as being a specialized nature God cleric), and the veil between planes in this area is super thick, making it super hard for players to get into, and even harder to get out of!
Finally, if players are over lvl 18, the gods will attempt to smite them or cast them out to another prime. As they see mortals of that power to be a threat to them.
The gods are pussies if a lv 18 character scares them
@@gargoyles9999 it's not a 1:1 situation. Dragonlance is the opposite of a power gamer setting, and everything scales with that, including how gods in this setting works. Honestly, being over 18th lvl doesn't always make you a worry to the gods, especially if you're simply a martial class. If you were familiar with what the story of the Kingpriest of Istar, or Rastlin Majere and his fight against Takesis, you'd understand its a lore/story issue. Don't dismiss it simply as a result of a character level anyone playing from lvl 1 almost never reaches anyway.
Mounted combat is cool, but I’ll never understand why mounts whom are more intelligent or powerful than their riders allow such hinderances. I can respect a dryad getting a ride to the nearest stream from is Unicorn friend, however riders can become inconveniences to more elite mounts. Wading into combat atop a Red Dragon is only possible if the rider has several resistances to fire, and is ready to get crushed if the fights becomes purely physical. Only spell casters should ride such mounts as they would have less trouble attacking from such positions. I assume that’s why only the most epic level characters can even acquire a mount like a dragon.
If I am going into combat, I would want a pixie cleric or paladin on my back, giving me heals and making additional attacks.
Now I want to play a character where the Human is just a mount, and the character is Brownie or Grig with a platform built on the guys head with reins and blinders and other horse paraphernalia.

Nice nice nice
Ok super random question but it is dnd related. I was going to post on the far realm video but it is so old I didn't think anyone would respond. So where exactly did the Obyriths come from? I mean I've read another dimension basically and that they existed before the Gods, but does that mean they come from the far realms? I mean they are obviously lovecraftian. I was just curious if they were related to the same kind of areas that mind flayers and what not would come from.
They came from another multiverse, the only way they could cross over was to send a psychic beacon across the far realm and into the mind of Tharizdun, who then dreamed them into existence.
"Like dry spaghetti in a baseball bat made of hotdogs" Please tell me that's a New Zealand expression and you didn't just make it up on the fly?

Good hustle getting this out to ride the controversy based surge of interest!
I assume for similar reasons we'll never see Dark Sun again- any chance of some lore of that?
Dragon Lance is controversial now?
Dark sun has some interest.
@@gargoyles9999 Weis and Hickman have a contract with WotC to write their final trilogy in the Dragonlance series, the capstone to the series. When W&H submitted their final draft, WotC had their "sensitivity readers" review the draft, demanding dozens of changes. When W&H made the revisions in a second draft, they were then told by WotC that no further submissions would be accepted. W&H then filed a law suit against WotC, claiming that WotC was in breach of contract.
I never thought about it, but you're right, Krynn history is a real bummer.
There is also a weapon called a dragonflail that has the same capabilities. It's apparently a 2ft diameter barbed sphere attached to a long chain.
This video just came up on my feed and I’m glad it did. Looks like you have a lot of videos to watch so I’m sorted for the next while.
Did they have a son? Legend of Huma does go through the whole war and bargaining with the God at the end of the story. Huma is buried with fill honors and Kaz bears his banner, reminding the Soldiers is his book. Never remember having a kid.
Liam of Eldor ( It was also said that Laca Dragonbane and his son, Aglaca Dragonbane, are both descendants of Huma.)... are they for sure of dragon blood? I don't know.
@@AJPickett The timeline just seems off. Also, they were never apart long enough to have the kid in secret. Unless she used magic and had the kid right afterwards. Might need to read the book again, been many moons since I have read about my favorite Dragonlance Hero.
