  1. Hickman and Weis are PHENOMENAL!!! I love Chronicles and Legends is even better (I'm a big Raistlin Majere fan). Haven't gotten a chance to read their last four books in the Dragonlance world, but will eventually Did you ever read any of their other stuff? I've read Star of the Guardians, Rose of the Prophet, and The Darksword trilogies. All are excellent but not on the level of Chronicles or Legends. As for the art, I don't collect it, but I do so enjoy it. I have a lot of the AD&D books and modules dealing with Dragonlance and one of my favorite 30 minute past times are paging through "The Art of the Dragonlance Saga". I love Elmore's work on the covers for the original Chronicles. He's also done a few exceptional pieces such as "Palin's Test" and the incredibly moving "The Death of Sturm". However, for my money, Keith Parkinson has done the best paintings ever done for Dragonlance. My personal favorite is "The Last Spell of Fistandantilus"; it captures the desperate battle between the two most powerful evil wizards in Krynn history very well. I also love "Dragon's of War" depicting Sturm's final stand against Kitiara and Skie. "Raistlin's Farewell" is very touching; Caramon's wounded sorrow is very well portrayed. And when it comes to capturing sheer power, "Lord Soth's Charge" is hard to top. Yes i also love Raistlin, Best character in all of D&D in my opinion (Screw Drizzt ). Havent read any of the newer age Dragonlance books, though Soulforge was just off the chart good!!! I still find myself going back thumbing through the annotated chronicles, for Weiss and Hickmans notes on the books. Its good stuff. I have a few Elmore Ink's of Raistlin, and a really sweet Clyde Caldwell piece of Sturm that he did for the book the Oath and the Measure. My all time favorite pieces would have to be Raistlin and Crysiana (so much going on in this one with Raistlin eyes and the look on his face you can get a different vibe everytime you look at it!), and of course the Death of Sturm (just one of the all time classics)
  2. I know im the newbie but let me chime in.... I collect original fantasy art (basically anything from Larry Elmore or Dragonlance themed). Big fan of the chronicles trilogy!!
