Dragonlance Movie Forum: Continuing the Conversation
Welcome to the Dragonlance Movie Site forum, the long-running home for discussion of movies and adaptations based on the Dragonlance fantasy world created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Since 1995, DLMS has been a place for fans to share news, gossip, views, and rumours about bringing Krynn to the screen — from the animated feature Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight to the many stories still waiting for a film treatment. This page gathers the threads of one of our ongoing conversations and offers practical guidance for taking part.
What the Forum Covers
The DLMS forum is built around the films, but the conversation naturally ranges across the books and games that inspire them. Topics regularly include:
- The animated feature — Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, the film version of the first book in the Chronicles series, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Lucy Lawless, and Michael Rosenbaum. Discussion covers the adaptation, voice performances, the DVD release, and the soundtrack.
- The novels — the Chronicles and Legends series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, along with the Lost Chronicles (including Dragons of the Highlord Skies) and other Dragonlance titles.
- Future adaptations — speculation, wish lists, and news about other Dragonlance stories that could become movies or series.
- Fandom and collecting — books, DVDs, soundtracks, and memorabilia, plus recommendations for newcomers.
Joining the Discussion
Whether you are a longtime reader of the novels or you discovered Dragonlance through the animated film, there is a place for you here. To get the most from the forum:
- Read before you post. Many questions — about the film's cast, the DVD, or the order of the books — have been answered in earlier threads. A quick look through recent topics can save you time.
- Stay on topic. Keep replies relevant to the thread you are in. If you want to raise a new subject, start a new topic so the conversation stays easy to follow.
- Be respectful. Fans have different favourite characters, books, and interpretations. Disagreement is welcome; personal attacks are not.
- Avoid spoilers in subject lines. If your post reveals plot points from the novels or the film, note it in the title so others can choose when to read.
- No piracy. Do not link to or request unauthorised copies of the film, soundtrack, or books. Support the official releases.
Navigating Forum Threads
Long-running discussions are split across pages so they remain readable. When a topic grows, you will see page links that let you move between earlier and later parts of the conversation. If you are looking for a specific post, use your browser's find function on the page you are viewing, or scan the topic list for related threads. Quoting the part of a message you are responding to helps everyone follow the thread, especially when a discussion spans several pages.
About the Animated Film
Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the animated feature adaptation of the first book in the Chronicles series. It brings the companions together for the first time on screen and introduced many viewers to Krynn. The DVD and soundtrack are available, and the film remains a frequent starting point for forum discussions about how the books could be adapted. For cast details, release information, and answers to common questions, see the Dragonlance Movie FAQ.
Exploring the Books Behind the Films
The films begin with the novels, and the forum is a good place to find reading guidance. The Chronicles series is the usual starting point, followed by Legends. The Lost Chronicles fills in parts of the story that were previously untold — including Dragons of the Highlord Skies, which follows Laurana's mission to recover the dragon orb in Icewall, Kitiara's time under the spell of Lord Ariakas, and how she wins the loyalty of Lord Soth. Many of these titles, and others, are available through the DLMS Bookstore. Forum members often share which editions they recommend and how the books relate to the film.
