4.0 out of 5 stars A high point for Dragonlance, 5 Age, June 11, 2005

This review is from: WINGS OF FURY (Dragonlance Fifth Age Dramatic Adventure Game) (Hardcover)

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).

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. Very little new was revealed., February 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: WINGS OF FURY (Dragonlance Fifth Age Dramatic Adventure Game) (Hardcover)

The 5th Age Dragons are one of the most interesting parts of the current Dragonlance SAGA, yet nothing new or "interesting" is really revealed about them. Save your money for something else.
