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?")

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?

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

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

"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.

AIM Greatest hits 8/whatever/4

― 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?

ha ha holy shit I forgot all about Raistlin's fucking SKIN

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:47 (nineteen years ago) link

If we're going to get into repressed memory...

My Halloween costume 1987 was in fact Raistlin.

No, no photographs exist. ;-)

GILTHANAS IN RETROSPECT = THINLY VEILED LEGOLAS WITH DRAGONBABE GIRLFRIEND

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Theoretically an improvement.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

My girlfriend claims she got into Dragonlance from seeing that cover and wondering what was up with Raistlin's eyes.

I have no words for those 'drow'.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, she was also offended that I only mentioned making the potatoes out of the cookbook, and wants everyone to know that she's also made the gully dwarf cookies and bunch of other stuff many a time. Now you know.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:25 (nineteen years ago) link

want some more fun? do a search for "drow real doll"

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Jordan, you rude man, your girlfriend was right to complain about you for not mentioning her other cookery earlier. But all is rectified.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

oh no xpost

NOW IS THE TIME FOR COMFORT BOOKS

It's a comfort THREAD. My god, the madness here.

Results 1 - 10 of about 200 for "sexy drow". (0.36 seconds)

I met Margaret Weis by accident at GenCon. It was pretty cool.

Every month is NaNoWriMo for her.

to echo a question i had on the video game thread, when did drow elf chicks somehow become fetishized? Everquest? The Baldur's Gate series?

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Thursday, 4 November 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

A suggestive illustration in "The Monster Manual" or "Fiend Folio"?

― Nemo (JND), Thursday, 4 November 2004 22:20 (nineteen years ago) link

When was the first appearance of Drizzt Do'Urden (or rather when was his origin trilogy published)?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 4 November 2004 22:22 (nineteen years ago) link

This thread just reminded me how bad the Saturday morning D&D cartoon used to be. One of the true injustices of my youth.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 4 November 2004 22:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Aw, I loved that cartoon.
