episode 10: #010 - Book Review - Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Dragonlance #01)
This week, another first -- our first book review. We review Dragons of Autumn Twilight, the very first book in the Dragonlance saga, an expansive series of books based in the world of Krynn, specially created for use in the world's most popular role playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. We discuss nostalgic memories of first reading the books in high school, the book's structure & pacing, our favorite characters, and how the novel helps with the understanding of playing D&D, the game it was meant to embody. With over 190 novels, the Dragonlance saga has widespread and long-lasting appeal. But, did it have universal appeal...amongst our three co-hosts? Tune it to find out for whom this book was a critical hit and whether someone in the group botched in their reading enjoyment roll.
