WELCOME TO THE INN
Greetings, friends and fellow companions, and welcome back to the
Inn of the Last Home. It's been fairly busy at the inn with news of
Ansalon coming in from all directions.
So grab your hoopaks, my friends. The portal to adventure awaits!
DRAGONLANCE MOVIE!
After years of rumor and speculation, the Dragonlance movie has
become reality. The movie will be an animated movie, combining
classic 2D animation with 3D computer animation. Margaret and Tracy
have been very involved, so much so that they will make cameos in
the movie! Dragons of Autumn Twilight will be released in autumn
2007, though it is uncertain if that is to the theaters or straight
to DVD.
So who's starring in this blockbuster-in-the-making? The big star
is none other than Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Raistlin!
There's also Lucy Lawless of Xena fame as the voice of Goldmoon, as
well as Michael Rosenbaum as the voice of Tanis Half-Elven. For
more information, visit www.dragonlance-movie.com .
DRAGONS OF THE DWARVEN DEPTHS BOOK TOUR
Dragons of the Dwarven Depths, book one of the Lost Chronicles
trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, has been released.
Margaret and Tracy are going on a book tour, where they are doing
special podcasts of the Q&A sessions. You can find the dates and
locations of the book tour on the Nexus. The podcasts can be heard
through Tracy Hickman's Dragonhearth podcast, at
www.dragonhearthproductions.com .
Remember that you can support the Nexus by buying a copy of Dragons
of the Dwarven Depths through the site! Proceeds go towards keeping
the Nexus alive and well on the web.
KNIGHTLY ORDERS OF ANSALON
Knightly Orders of Ansalon has recently been released in PDF format,
and will soon be released in print format. This book, co-authored
by yours truly, details the Knights of Solamnia, Dark Knights, and
Legion of Steel, giving several new options.
NEXUSCON
This summer sees the first ever NexusCon take place. Masterminded by
B'naa and supported by the Dragonlance Nexus, this weeklong
convention, which starts July 17th, will be an online event and it
will feature many Dragonlance icons such as Nancy Varian Berberick
(July 21st), Mary Herbert (July 20th), Doug Clark (July 18th), Todd
Lockwood (July 19th), Jennifer Meyer (July 19th), and the guys from
Sovereign Press (July 17th) – the producers of the official d20
Dragonlance gaming products.
In addition there will be workshops, all focusing on Dragonlance. We
will host an art workshop with Dragonlance as the main topic as well
as a so-called ICRP (In-Character Role Playing) workshop in which
veterans of the ICRP section of the official Dragonlance forums will
give tips and advice useful to everyone interested in playing
Dragonlance characters.
If you're interested in attending this weeklong event check out the
following thread on the Dragonlance forums:
http://www.dragonlanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8368. The
events of the NexusCon are posted there as well as when they'll take
place. We hope to see you there!
UNTIL NEXT TIME
I hope that all of you will join us on the message boards to discuss
these topics and more. Until next time!
