ADD TO WISHLIST >

The War of the Lance has begun...

Enter the world of Krynn and defy the conquering Dragon Armies with Dragonlance Peoples & Paragons: A War of the Lance Players Guide, a 165-page tome of player character options for epic quests on the continent of Ansalon and beyond. Rather than trying to capture every era of Krynn, this guide focuses on Ansalon during the War of the Lance, making it the perfect player resource for Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaigns or games using the original adventure path that began in DL1 Dragons of Despair

A very good book, with art and production values comparable to the latest WotC Dragonlance entry (at the time of this writing, Shadow of the Dragon Queen). I liked the new class options to give characters a more "Krynnish" feel, alth [...]

I think it is a real solid and good work and I use quite a lot of the ideas presented. Knightly disciplines, stuff from the character origins, some feats and on top of all: The sorcerer subclass "Ancient Artifact" released me from the complet [...]

Decent. Very expansive. Some race/class options seem very OP. Be sure to judge for yourself ahead of time what you will and won't be allowing in your campaign. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
