I agree that dragonlance would be a great d & d movie. Its story is deep enough not to be boring and yet filled enough with action & magic to satisfy gamers & non-gamers. I'd love to see elijah wood as tasslehoff (I believe he could pull it off even if most people nowadays think of him as frodo; remember when he played huck finn when he was just a kid? I know the mischievousness is still there in elijah hehehe...). The tanis-laurana-kitiara storyline would appeal to a wide audience. And think of the raistlin-caramon storyline in live movie...its progression from chronicles until legends...the ambition of raistlin to be a god would be awesome in a movie! Also the dwarf-kender relationship of flint & tasslehoff would be a great balance of amusement and seriousness. Actually, most of the characters in dragonlance would be very interesting movie characters; even the minor ones (bupu of raistlin, gilthanas-silvara story, etc.) Indeed, dragonlance has great movie potential. But of course, execution is another story.

Great advice, Sebastian. I am reminded of the documentary of the LOTR movies on how Peter Jackson,et al. trimmed down the plot of the books into focusing on Frodo's journey; you got it right here in this case, too. Thanks for giving the right focus.

Yep. I agree. Additional reliance on technology to run an adventure is VERY BAD . . . might as well play PC games. I appreciate that what Dungeon provides for downloads are supplements and NOT the essential contents of the magazine themselves.
Just noticed that there seem to be three iconic characters consistently showing in the AOW arts in dungeon---a tiefling, a drow & a human(?) cleric(?), also sometimes I see this human paladin in some interior arts. Any idea what class & what their stats are or if they even have names? background? Don't have #126 yet but am curious if these three are showing up there, too. Just curious.

Do I just pick three out of the Dark Six or what? The appendice of Dungeon#124 online supplement re:eberron (pages 8 to 9) had some few notes that may help you although it's very bare as of now. Keith mentioned there that "The Ebon Triad reveres the Shadow, the Mockery, and the Keeper". Good Luck!
