peterbound Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love tie in novels (or not) In which I will attempt to recap my daily reads of this fucked up book. Day one: The cover All i'm going say about the cover is this: If this was the same one used in some of the original runs, I can't help but think that there was a young DRII out there, dick in hand, pleasing himself to steel bikini clad warrior maidens. Not the best representation of cover art in the genre and probably something I would have torn off if attempting to read in actual physical form.

SkynJay Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Oh Jesus. I couldn't even get through half of it. Any chance there may be of getting you to see all tie-ins are not equal will not be helped by this reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkynJay Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I assumed it was the first Dragonlance book and he is just screwing around with the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo498 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I checked about four different covers of the DL chronicles and none features a scantily clad maiden. Their garb might be a little tight but never particularly revealing... there are probably such covers in different editions but not in the "classic" ones.

peterbound Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Drugs: No Name: Yes, i was fucking around. Cover: While the one above is one of the more conservative covers, the one I seem to have as a lady that i'm sure could get DR's heart a' racing. Chapter 1 read: I got through the prolog, started the first chapter and feel asleep. Now, it wasn't horrible, and I did have some Tylenol PM on board, so i'm not going to blame the book. I'll try and read some more in the bath tub this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 This cover? Still pretty chaste. I mean, Goldmoon's hot and all, but that's a pretty low bar to get the heart racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they're rubbish at noticing dragons. This is the edition I had, cover isn't too bad by fantasy tie-in standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a depiction that made Goldmoon look like a "tribesperson" or whatever, I'm not sure I ever saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
