“You just wrote your medieval fantasy setting to have medieval gender roles and homophobia and prejudice because you secretly fantasize about being able to be sexist and homophobic in a land with no PoC without any pushback! It’s fantasy, there’s dragons and wizards, it doesn’t have to have prejudice unless you, the writer, want it like that! In *my* D&D setting, there’s no sexism or homophobia, so that gay transgender women of all races can be holy knights fighting to protect the good kingdom from the endless hordes of the evil dark race that has threatened its borders for a thousand years!”

there's a lot of dragon age media out there other than the main games. novels & other official books, visual novels, movies & shows... please raise awareness to not spread literally ALL the pdfs and videos around. please be responsible here.

also includes the flash games, ttrpg, and some official dao toolset resources, as well as a timeline with both in-universe dates and release dates (timeline's not currently up to date, it's not a priority, but it's decent)

update (novemeber 2024):

added the official screenplay for dragon age redemption

still looking for:

a scan of the art section from the collector's edition of the da2 guide

special features from the redemption dvd

anything released since mid-2024 (i think that's just the veilguard art book. also the podcast, but it's freely available online so i'll only do it when i can be bothered sorryyy)

that’s literally it. everything else is there, other than the main games and things you can read on the wiki

✨So what is Chosen Ones about...?✨ (read more!)

'Chosen Ones' takes place in the first few hundred years of the planet Absolem on a continent known as Varune. To combat the hardships of Absolem, people with extraordinary powers began to develop, known as Sparks. And from these Sparks, a Chosen One could form. Our story follows four of these Sparks, and potential Chosen Ones, as they work to discover who the next Chosen One might be.

NOTE: Visuals are provided to help the audience keep track of characters, fights, and scenes, but are not required to enjoy this podcast. Our main platform is youtube, but feel free to listen to us on spotify if that's what works best for you!

Support an independently published character-driven, slow burn, adult fantasy-romance novel featuring a female lead with just as much bite as her bark.

With only 45% of our goal reached and less than 3 days left to our Kickstarter, The Maiden of the Barren Rime needs your help!

________________

The Fallow Peaks, a frozen wasteland of cruel mountains and blood thirsty beasts, where the veil between the Realm of Mortals and the fae realm thins, where very few adventurers have dared to tread, where very few guides are qualified to lead.

Guides such as Mina, unfortunately.

Isolated by choice, Mina finds her solitude interrupted by a sudden request from the Crown of Lanholde to lead their latest band of contractors up the Peaks to finish their quest and deliver their bounty to the capital. The overly friendly five-some she’s contacted to escort seem hell-bent to step over her every boundary, no matter now stern and scornful she acts, worst among them their leader, Sebastian Windenhofer.

Will the fire wizard warm Mina’s cold heart? Or will the reasons behind her icy demeanor turn them all to ice before he gets the chance?

________________

A character-driven adult fantasy-romance narrative featuring a female protagonist with flaws that serve more to the story than just being a character trait. The Maiden of the Barren Rime is a book about love and family and acceptance and people, all while throwing you into an amazing, fascinating, fantasy world. 

AND, as this is a slow-burn romance, there are well-earned, intimate scenes for those who like a little spice with their catharsis. 😉

With plans to expand the series into a trilogy, your backing will help The Maiden of the Barren Rime reach it's intended audience, and a fresh style of narrative into the fantasy-romance drama.

Check it out on Kickstarter

528. Various Authors - Dragonlance Tales Volume 1: The Magic of Krynn (1987)

The first volume in the first Tales trilogy (there would be more Tales series), The Magic of Krynn is an anthology of short stories (and some longer ones), exploring the world of Krynn and often filling in gaps in the stories we already know while in other cases actually advancing the stories of some of the main characters we came to know and love. 

The biggest attractions in this volume are the two tales told by the original Dragonlance novelists, with Margaret Weis contributing "The Test of the Twins" which, much as in a previous, lesser developed, Dragon Magazine short-story, tells us of Raistlin's test in the Tower of High Sorcery and the toll this took on himself and Caramon, his twin. 

The longest tale in the volume is by Weis and Tracy Hickman who in "The Legacy" introduce us to "Dragonlance: The Next Generation" as the children of Caramon and Tika deal with their family history and we get to pick up on what happened to Raistlin and everyone after the Legends trilogy. Tales like "Finding the Faith" fill in gaps in the Chronicles trilogy and overall the other stories are generally entertaining if you are into the world of Krynn, which I certainly am.

You're cold. You're wet. This storm isn't going to let up anytime soon. Thank the gods for this remote tavern -- there isn't anything out here for miles.

To pass the time and distract yourself from your shivering, you strike up conversation with a somewhat terrifying mercenary all the other tavern patrons give a wide berth to. 

He begrudgingly obliges.

thinking about how there is "Americanized Fantasy" and "American Fantasy"

Americanized fantasy is that vaguely european folklore aesthetic. Like elves, dwarves, gods, demons...etc. You'll see it in stuff like D&D, Warhammer, Video Games, Books... And then theres actual American Fantasy, which is stuff like bigfoot, the jersey devil, mothman, aliens, the wendigo, lizard people, area 51... I think Lovecraft stuff can fit into that too. I think Scooby Doo and Gravity Falls fit into the American Fantasy genre.

Fantasy paperback week (mostly)! What a wonderful, musty week indeed.

This, my friends, is one of my favorite things. It is a set of Ace Books’ unauthorized publications of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy (1965). The story here is tortured (and you can find a fuller accounting on Kirkus Reviews). Basically, Donald A. Wollhiem approached Tolkien about producing an American edition of the books in paperback and was snootily turned down (Tolkien apparently saw paperbacks as “degenerate”). Offended, Wollhiem hunted around and found an apparent loophole in copyright law at the time (I do not pretend to entirely understand this) that had allowed the trilogy to fall into the public domain in the US. He quickly published these books, beating Ballantine’s revised editions to shelves by five months. Tolkien and Ballantine waged a war against Ace in the papers, accusing them of pirating the trilogy — eventually Ace relented, gave Tolkien royalties and let their (still popular editions) go out of print.

The cover art is by Jack Gaughan, who was featured on many Ace books. I feel like I know him primarily through covers for Jack Vance novels, but he has a distinct sort of mid-century medieval style I really enjoy. I love these covers, with their bright colors. They actually reflect the content of the books better than the covers on the Ballantine editions — Barbara Remington’s strange triptych evokes some of the books, but because of the Ace edition, she didn’t have time to read the books before she commenced painting.
