WELCOME TO THE INN
Greetings, friends and fellow companions, and welcome back to the
Inn of the Last Home. I apologize for the lateness of this
newsletter. It seems that it was held up in gnomish subcommittee.

Many events are occurring on the continent of Ansalon (and beyond!),
including minotaurs, monsters, and mayhem. So grab your hoopaks, my
friends. The portal to adventure awaits!


GAMING NEWS
Sovereign Press has recently released the <i>Bestiary of Krynn</i>,
by my friends of mine – Cam Banks and Andre' La Roche. These guys
have done a bang-up job updating some of your favorite monsters,
providing gaming stats for monsters seen only in novels, and
introducing you to a few new beasties as well.

Among the most popular critters (hey, I'm from Missouri) are the
Noble Draconians, brainchild of Jamie Chambers. These are
draconians created from the eggs of chromatic dragons during the
last chaotic days of the War of the Lance. Yet the Dragonarmies
didn't know that the laws of balance would dictate that these
draconians follow the path of light. There's some fantastic art to
accompany these guys as well. Check it out!

The much-anticipated adventure Key of Destiny has also been
released. Be sure to pick up a copy, and delve into this new era
after the War of Souls.

Towers of High Sorcery will be released at Origins later this month,
followed by the Dragonlance Adventure Game and War of the Lance in
subsequent months.


NOVEL NEWS
For those awaiting a Taladas novel, your wait is nearly over. Chris
Pierson will be penning a trilogy on the second continent of Krynn.

Nancy Varian Berberick's Prisoner of Haven comes out this month.
Next month, the long-anticipated Wizard's Conclave by Doug Niles
will be released. Wizard's Conclave will detail much of what is
going on with the Wizards of High Sorcery after the War of Souls.

Margaret Weis has given a few teasers for her upcoming book Ashes
and Amber, the first book in the Dark Disciple trilogy centered on
Mina. Among the characters are a monk, a character archetype not
fully detailed in Dragonlance before, and a kender nightstalker.
Margaret says that this new kender is nothing like Tasslehoff.

COMIC NEWS
Issue #5 of the comic adaptation of The Legend of Huma will be
hitting shelves this week, so check your friendly local comic store
and have them reserve a copy.

In issue #5, Huma travels to the Citadel of Magius, where Magius
reveals a secret to Huma that will change their relationship forever.

The legend continues!


UNTIL NEXT TIME
The time has come again to travel the many roads of Krynn. These
roads take us to new horizons, and even unto the far side of Krynn
in the mysterious lands of Taladas. As old legends are re-told, new
legends are being born.
