Product Detail
DragonLance: Wings of Fury - USED |
Description "Within the long shadow of the dragon overlord's domains, villainous schemes approach fruition. Only a handful of courageous heroes dare to challenge these ruthless wyrms -- and their success or failure will determine the future of Krynn.
Wings of Fury provides a wealth of detail about the mightiest creatures of Krynn. The handbook within this box, Dragonlore, presents details on all aspects of dragonkind, including the following:
* The history of Krynn, told for the first time by its truly epic participants -- the dragons.
* Extensive descriptions of the Dragon Realms ruled by the overlords, including the schemes, resources, and weaknesses of each.
* The lore of the ten clans of ancient dragons, including revered elders of each, current strongholds, and traditional enemies and allies.
Wings of Fury also features Wings Over Ansalon, an adventure that pits the heroes and powerful good dragons against the might of the great red dragon Malys herself! The adventure is playable by itself but also serves as the epic climax to the Dragons of a New Age adventure cycle. A full-color poster map details the Dragon Isles, the idyllic realm that has been clanhome to the good dragons for the last fourteen centuries.
Now is the time for heroes of Krynn to arise and take their stand against evil and destruction - for if the forces of Malys advance unchecked, the end of the world cannot lag far behind."
Setting aside the controversy of the re-release of Dragonlance as a profoundly changed world described in a SAGA system rules set, and taking Wings of Fury on its own merits... I'm impressed.
It's chic to note TSR's decline in the late Nineties while describing a RPG item of the time. The idea is that TSR could do nothing right, had no talent left, only looking for the buck, etc. Admittedly, quality control took a slide, but it wasn't universal.
Wings of Fury does a wonderful job of expanding the centerpiece of Dragonlance: The Dragons. Doug Niles -- while not the first name you'd think of in RPG writing -- can be relied on to deliver competent work. Artwork throughout is above average. Numerous sidebars in the books add color or highlight rules.
Inside are two books and a map:
Book One is Dragonlore: A Treatise on Ansalon's Dragons.
Book Two is Wings Over Ansalon: Dragons of a New Age, Part Five.
Poster map is of the Dragon Isles, a semi-mythical archipelago dominated by dragons, but also the home of numerous other thriving cultures. A whole campaign could be set here by an inventive referee. The concept is very similar to the Council of Wyrms box set (1994; ISBN 1560768576).
