Why does everyone talk about Raistlin?
Raistlin is very popular among Dragonlance fans because, as Weis and Hickman wrote in the Legends trilogy, there is a little bit of him in each of us. He is undeniably selfish, cruel, cold, and callous. Yet, he can be as tender and as gentle as a mother. He has a huge capacity for both hate and love. He has appeared in several Dragonlance novels, as well as a Dragonlance boardgame (Magestones). His fans are as zealous as ever, even after all these years. Raistlin debates are one of the favorites on many different discussion forums.
