Dragonlance was a major publishing initiative for TSR. It featured sixteen modules, one hardcover adventure book, a world sourcebook, atlas, art book, calendars, boardgame, twelve novels, and more! The overwhelming success of Dragonlance is due to its imaginative worldbuilding and backing of the entire game designing team. As much as we rightfully credit Laura and Tracy Hickman with creating it, it was truly fleshed out by many talented game designers, writers, artists, and more! And the hard truth is that if we as an audience didn’t accept it, it never would have made it past the first novel and module. Let’s take a closer look at the role-playing game products of Dragonlance in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

March 1984 saw the release of DL1 Dragons of Despair by Tracy Hickman. It was the first module to introduce Dragonlance to the gaming community and introduced the world to the innfellows. Designed for a party of 6-8 player characters, of levels 4-6, it centered around the return of both dragons and the gods after a calamity in the distant past. It featured the three dimensional dungeon crawl through Xak Tsaroth which included the encounter with a black dragon named Onyx, new monsters, music and poetry. DL2 Dragons of Flame by Douglas Niles was released in July of 1984 and picked up with the heroes returning to their starting town of Solace, and becoming embroiled in the larger land of Abanasinia and the Red Wind of the Dragonarmy. The module included two red dragons that you didn’t need to fight named Ember and Flamestrike. It featured the 3d map of Pax Tharkas, another song and an evolved poem. September 1984 saw the release of DL3 Dragons of Hope by Tracy Hickman, and aside from opening up even more of the land of Ansalon, it included the 3D map of Skullcap, and saw the players trying to find a home for the eight-hundred refugees they liberated from Pax Tharkas in DL2. It also is the first module to introduce a good dragon in the form of a Brass Dragon named Blaize. In November 1984 DL4 Dragons of Desolation by Tracy Hickman and Michael Dobson was released. This concluded the first story arc, and connected with the end of the first novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight as well. It featured the underground dwarven Kingdom of Thorbardin, the 3D map of The Floating Tomb, and a Gold Dragon named Evenstar. It concludes with the final defeat of Verminaard and features yet another song for the Wedding. DL5 Dragons of Mystery by Michael Dobson was released in December 1984 and is the first sourcebook for Dragonlance ever! It featured the history and gods of Dragonlance, yet to be clearly defined, and more information about the companions and the entire continent of Ansalon for the first time.

In May 1985, DL6 Dragons of Ice by Douglas Niles was released. It featured the first real urban environment of Tarsis and the ice reach wastes of the south. It also includes the first integration with Douglas Niles’ Battlesystem to be used in the Battle of the Ice Reaches; this would be an optional tie-in with many of the modules to come. It also introduced the first white dragon named Sleet. DL7 Dragons of Light by Jeff Grubb was released in July 1985 and introduced us to yet even more elves of Krynn, and introduced the first silver dragon named Dargent....
