Dangerous Delves - A Photo Gallery of the New D&D Minis

If you are a fan of D&D minis like I am, every time a new collection comes out, I'm anxious to see what the full set looks like, other that the few minis shown on the box. With the latest set of minis, Dangerous Delves , WotC has started something new. Eight of the largest minis are actually displayed through a clear section of the packaging. The remainder of the box is still random and not shown. Additionally WotC has again increased the per mini price by only including 5 minis in the box (including the visible one) for a $15 cost... all the more reason to know what you might be getting in each box. For me, these Gallery pages are important for deciding if I want to by random boxes or look for individual minis on the after market (like Ebay). So what do you think of the new set? Please leave a comment.

Dragonlance Comics (Issue 17) - Winter's Knight Begins

Dragonkill This issue starts with Riva Silvercrown (about 30+ years older than her last appearance in issue 12 ) being chased by a number of draconians. She defeats many of them while her dragon mount, Ktarrh, finishes off the rest. Just after the battle her dragon dies from massive wounds. Near death herself from the draconians wounds, Riva sets off on foot, away from the battlefield... Elsewhere a young brother and sister (Darial and Shaya) sit outside their parent's farm. Shaya notices something in the distance and thinks maybe the draconians are returning to their farm, but Darial sees that it's a lone figure. As they go to investigate, they find Riva collapsed on the ground. The kids help the knight back to their farm, where Riva finds their murdered parents in the farm house. Darial asks Riva how he can become a knight. While Riva rests, she begins to tell the story Wistan Dawnbringer, forefather to Gunthar Uth Wistan, the current head of the knighthood... During the Seco

Dragonlance Comic News

I know I've been away for a while, and I did hope to be back to writing about the adventures of my gaming group, and all things Dragonlance sooner, that pesky real life has a way of sucking away ones time and desire. But hopefully that's all changed now and I'm looking forward to getting back to regular posts... and while I'm on the subject of delays... It seems the second volume of the Dragonlance Legends series, War of the Twins, by DDP is on hold. Not sure what's up with that company, but they've suspend both the Dragonlance comic as well as the Worlds of D&D comic. I'm not sure if they've also stopped their adaptations of the Drizzt series as well (if anyone out there knows, please post an update in the comments section). I'm not sure when they plan to restart either series (if ever), but in the meantime, here's a link for the issue #2 cover art .
