Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman talk about Dragons Unleashed

Well-known fantasy authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman talk about their new series, Dragons Unleashed, which they kick off with Bones of the Dragon.

Many RPG adventure novel fans have enjoyed Weis and Hickman's stories set in Krynn, a fantasy world Tracy Hickman developed in 1979 and which he subsequently sold to TSR, Inc. (TSR was acquired by Wizards of the Coast, which is now owned by Hasbro).

As I recall, the DragonLance stories introduced readers to a different world from the World of Greyhawk that the first TSR novels had been set in (World of Greyhawk being TSR's classic AD&D world).

Weis and Hickman went on to create other worlds, other series. Their first step away from fantasy RPG books was The Rose of the Prophet, a well-written trilogy set in what you could call a hybrid universe. There were still elements of fantasy RPG games in the concepts but the storyline was more like a traditional novel.

There have been many books since. This video presents the two authors talking about their new series, a Viking fantasy with magic longships, dragons, and more. It's an interesting video obviously intended to help market their books but worth a view, in my opinion.
