What is the Dragonlance role-playing game and how do I play it?
As well as being a series of novels, Dragonlance is a game which combines strategy, luck, and most importantly, imagination. Each player plays a character on Krynn, except for the Dungeon Master, who represents all the exterior elements of the world. The DM prepares and referees the game. While there have been a few Dragonlance computer games, the primary form is for paper & pencil. It requires some 3-9 people, paper and pencils, dice, and gamebooks. Different kinds of dice are needed, with 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20 sides. Each player should probably get two of each. These can be purchased at your local hobby store or online (try “beginner’s polyhedral dice” in your favorite search engine). The gamebooks will depend on which edition you wish to try.
