Origins (II): The End of Dragonlance Wave Two. McComb read Time of the Dragon (1989) and "peppered Zeb with question." However he says that most of Zeb's answers were: "You're creative. Then he learned that the project was set in Taladas and that "all of background reading was for nought". He was assigned to the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms groups, and was "delighted" that his first project was for the Dragonlance line. In 1991, McComb turned 21 and graduated from college, whereupon he was hired as a game designer for TSR.
Suffice to say, he was a fan of Dragonlance from the beginning. He recognized it immediately as a book by " the designer of Ravenloft and the editor of the Endless Quest series" and he says that it "kicked pants in". When TSR published Dragons of Autumn Twilight (1984) he was excited to see it. Author Colin McComb began gaming in 1980. On the one hand, it's a sourcebook for the minotaur lands in Taladas on the other hand, it's a racial splatbook for minotaurs, focusing on Taladas, but giving information that would be useful for minotaur characters anywhere. "The Minotaurs" is a rather unique splatbook because it combines two different elements. Now, a year and a half later, TSR returned to the "DLR" series to provide another reference for the Dragonlance world - and a book-end to those travels to other lands. When the "DLR" series kicked off with DLR1: "Other Lands" (1990), Dragonlance was near the start of its explorations of the distant lands beyond Ansalon. Prepare to be enlightened (and perhaps surprised!) as you read this, the first material ever released about these mysterious and misunderstood creatures: the minotaurs of Taladas.ĭLR2: "Taladas: The Minotaurs" (1991), by Colin McComb, is the second Dragonlance Reference. Major minotaur non-player characters are also delinieated-including a magic-user and a paladin of Paladine! The Warriors' Guild is explored in detail, for use in your own campaign. Among the information within these pages are their origin myths, bureaucratic organizations, military strategies, and philosophical leanings.
This booklet exposes the secrets of minotaur society for the first time in the Dragonlancecampaign setting.
Awe-inspiring, brutish, militaristic, honor-bound: All these words and more describe the minotaurs of Taladas, the "other continent" on the world of Krynn.
