"We made the potatoes" is the greatest euphemism ever.

"In a pinch, usest thou the liquid from the oil of the coconut."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

You know, that really wasn't an x-post.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I do now have a vision of Iron Chef Krynn in my head, Dalamar introduce Iron Chefs Caramon, Raistlin and Crysania. Of course, Tas Burrfoot is the Ohta role.

"KITIARA-SAN!"

The potatoes were as good as any salty, peppery, oiled, Dragonlance-free oven-roasted potatoes that I've made.

Battle Potato, Otik vs. Raistlin

"And Otik is about to put on the finishing touches..."

"KITIARA-SAN!"

"Go, Tas!"

"Raistlin has said he's about to unleash a demon to destroy Otik! How fun!"

haha clearly nick is wrong, above.

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 9 August 2004 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

To be fair, Nick's post was like waving a heraldic standard in front of a ettercap.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 18:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Huzzah.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Um, FWIW, I totally made some kind of stew from the cookbook. In LA I'll tell anybody who'll listen the story of Naked Ward1e dressed as Riverwind tying a cow's heart to the end of a broom and hitting bullies with it.

There was at least one novel devoted to the story of each character's travels in the seven years before the first trilogy. I remember reading the Riverwind one and thinking it was cool as shit; there were lots of the underground Draconians that he beat to tar with a big stick, no?

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Riverwind was secretly the greatest character in the book. Respect is due.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Died, came back from the dead, kicked butt all around, and he loved his lovely lady to bits. Can't go wrong.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:39 (nineteen years ago) link

[...] and he loved his lovely lady to bits

NED STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS HENTAI

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Tentacles!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Man, fantasy indians are waay cooler than me. I got kicked out of art class in 6th grade for drawing a picture of Tanis and Kitiara boning each other and showing it to this girl who had big boobs.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Jeremy, I am deeply pleased you're moving out here. You'll fit right in.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Do they have a recipe for chicken Tika in this cookbook? Boom boom.

There seems to have been a bit of a food theme on ILE today. No bad thing.

― Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

This is probably the only board on which I'd consider that a compliment, Ned.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny, I always thought Riverwind and Sturm were vying to be the most boring characters in the book (actually that's not quite fair...I hardly remember anything about Riverwind, but I remember Sturm being boring. I don't know which is worse.).

Sturm was oppressed by the weight of the past and the sadness of having a handlebar mustache, and then he died.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:49 (nineteen years ago) link

It was like Morrissey with a Lemmy mustache and a metal carapace.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 19:49 (nineteen years ago) link

a bit more dignity and a few less carnations, too.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:02 (nineteen years ago) link

rrr god i just remembered a kid i grew up with who pronounced all the names in the most batshit way:

sturm = "strum"
caramon = "carmen"
raistlin = "rasslin"

he just wouldn't see reason on the issue, either. (but the "strum" one i was like, "dude, are you even literate?")

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey, I did that. I still think of it that way in my head.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

a bit more dignity and a few less carnations, too.

Oh, Moz has dignity. And Sturm had the rose on his crest, yeah?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Parlay, good sir. I AM A DRAGON THAT CARVES MY INITIALS IN THINGS!

― CYAN BLOODBANE (x Jeremy), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Sturm preferred to sacrifice his life honorably rather than get laid.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:21 (nineteen years ago) link

"Dear Qualinesti dorks, please return the one orb you borrowed from us or we will see you in small claims court. Signed, The Only Real Elves from Silvanost."

Sturm preferred to sacrifice his life honorably rather than get laid.

Which was ironic because he got shafted by a lance.

Er.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

NB Ned, on the naming thing, I think the problem was their thinking really thinly-disguised word associations wouldn't bug their readers: half the time it felt like the whole premise was based on one of them finding out what the word "draconian" meant, and the whole solemn-knights thing bugged me, even at age 12. The most I can give them credit for is not naming the twins Caring-man and Wraith-lin.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

A very brief summary of me from age 12 - 18:

Age 12: Read about draconians in Dragonlance
Age 15: Heard Paradise Lost's Draconian Times
Age 19: Read Paradise Lost

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 9 August 2004 20:44 (nineteen years ago) link

you guys are awesome.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 01:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah I loved this shit for a while, currently selling it off pretty profitably (had LOADS). Sturm was my fav (Raistlin next obv), just thought about it for the first time (noble virgin blah blah people've already said) but what was w/his death? Pierced through the chest by a LANCE thing producing PAIN and BLOOD? Maybe they had a nastier sense of humour than it seemed

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 01:53 (nineteen years ago) link

EST SOLARUS OTH MITHAS.

Sturm was boring, and I didn't feel Riverwind was very fleshed out as a character. I think Flint (Flynt???) was my favorite. Tas was also radical fo real. But god, Verminaard is the most ridiculous name ever.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I'll show YOU Verminaards, smartass.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I also remember the sextet of background stories. some of them were cool. flynt & tanis in eleven court intrigue was pretty rad. also, The Brothers Majere was cool because it was abt RAISTLINERE>

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you have any of these still?

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:17 (nineteen years ago) link

ALL OF THEM. IN THE CABINET NEXT TO MY BED. ♥

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Riverwind was the best character but my favorite was Tanis.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 03:42 (nineteen years ago) link

AIM Greatest hits 8/whatever/4

x Jeremy's friend Jeff: im reading about dragonlance [this thread] now
x Jeremy's friend Jeff: and feelilng like i missed out

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 04:06 (nineteen years ago) link

He did.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:09 (nineteen years ago) link

This thread is just...wow. I had no idea.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I may have been better off not knowing!

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

OH, yes you did. Stop lyin'.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Stop being such a loose cannon.

(This one is better but I think it's too big)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Reading this thread is like going through Recovered Memory Therapy. I had totally repressed, er, forgotten Dragonlance. The books were explicitly connected to D&D (or TSR or Wizards of the Coast or whatever) weren't they?

This made me think of Steve Jackson's "Sorcery!" series, which was a more complicated version of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Did anybody else here read those?
