Dragonlance & Darkside

M'love's favorite character ever is Raistlin Magere. It's that whole 'evil' thing. Oh, and power.

...Honestly, knowing him, I might not have guessed that. But then, looking further -- I might.

I like Raistlin, too!

[azurelunatic]

Yay!

I'm sure it doesn't surprise you. I AM in love with Tom Riddle :)

[azurelunatic]

Heh.

Yours, I might be cautiously fond of.


But then, I'm overfond of my beloved little Slytherclaw.

*Everyone* loves Raistlin Majere, except me. *I* think he's a punk ass bitch. But then, I also despise the Dragonlance cosmology...:>

Wow, it's been a long looooong while since I thought about that series.

If I were to meet him, I think I'd give him a polite greeting, and go on about my business, which would coincidentally be not where he was.

Unless, of course, garnetdagger got on me about the whole "keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer, and in cases like this guy, keep him close enough to see what he's doing so you'll know when the fuck to run" thing, in which case she could join his party.

i think i have dragonlance and RPGs to thank for my deeply ingrained love of reading. My mother gave me the chronicals, legends, and tales trilogies when i was like 6 or 7, and i bought everything up till Dragons of Summer Flame, which completely ruined the series for me (i flipped through one of the fifth age books, and couldn't get into it).

A book series I highly recommend (if you havent read it already) is the Death Gate Cycle, written by Weiss and Hickman from the original Dragonlance series. I think there are seven books in it, with vast appendixes containing sheet music and technical data on the facinating rune system magic works through in the series, that actually works by altering probability. Its an epic series with glimmers of quantum physics and taoism, all in a fantasy setting, and the characters are amazing.

oh yeah. and raistlin was my fav too. hehe

My silly blondie was listening to some music about said mage, and shared. Nice blondie.

I may or may not have read bits from that. It was in my depressive years, so I have very little memory of it.

Somehow, I never really got into Dragonlance.

it all kinda goes downhill after the first two trilogies published in '81 (dragonlance, im talking about), but its interesting to see how a large amount of varied authors bring their own styles to the campaign setting. It was what i was doing instead of gaming, really, i could never find people my own age to game with (especially in the case of the old cyberpunk campaign setting Shadowrun, which had a delightfully complex and convoluted rule system, since it had to deal with Reality (with near-future firearms and melee weapons), the Astral Plane, and the Matrix), so i just read the books instead.
