Once a cornerstone of Dungeons & Dragons, the Dragonlance series helped define fantasy storytelling in the '80s and '90s. With magic edfelords, epic tales of war and prophecy, and a world bursting with dragons, magic, and moral conflict—this was D&D’s first great saga. In this video, we explore the history of Dragonlance, to its rise as a bestselling book series and game setting, to its eventual decline and recent attempts at revival. So sit back with a drink at the Inn of the Last Home grab your nearest Gully Dwarf and enjoy!
