What was best about this era of dungeons and dragons was the lack of constant wit and irony everything uses today. I love the sincere sober mindedness that this is presented in. Makes all the difference between something feeling frivolous or significant and worthwhile.
It’s called Millennial writing and believe it or not, it started with a Gen X writer: Joss Whedon. Buffy was a net negative to art and storytelling. Marvel’s Avengers was also written & directed by, you guessed it, Whedon.
Awww, it's quite abridged 😔. I really miss some memorable moments; Tasslehoff arguing with Flint because Flint refuses to get in the boat, Sturm following the deer... I like the voices, but would have loved an unabridged version
I used to own these tapes at a kid! So cool to hear this rendition with Peter! Thanks for posting this. I’ll be playing this before bed for many nights
Awesome..! When you're finished listening to it you can rewind it with a pencil....!!! I used to get scolded by my HS teachers in NJ because I would constantly rewind cassette tapes this way to save on walkman batteries......
I loved checking out these tapes from the library. The abridged effort may be flawed but the narration, performance and musical injections are marvelous!
Bookmark: 1:19:37 Ah yes! I had the book of Lost Histories that was named "The Dragons." I never knew this was a whole series until later in life. I want to listen to all of these. Thank you for this!
I need my oldest son second born after strum brightblade i read wvery book i believe from 7th grade till start of my freshman year 1991 I'm not sure if they ended then or not i was giddy to see the audio on UA-cam sense Mt bedtime was 8pm untill I left home I fell asleep reading these books with a flash light
When in my younger years tooks so long to read this chronicle a massive book all 3 combined over a thousand page's but not i can listen to it and they read it so fast lol
“As he rested, he pulled a block of wood from his pack and began eating it” is how the sentence naturally goes, not sure why they felt the need to change it
Hearing this so many years later, I never realized how many errors there are, the introductions, quotes missing, Tas missing lines and actions, Theicrat not burning himself again, the old man’s dialog changing, Tanis’ leadership changed fleeing, Raistlins spell scene not calling the spell and his acidic tone towards his brother.
@@GetMeAReubenSandwich I had no idea it was, however the 5 video set I’ve been listening to for the last 3 years mysteriously was deleted off YT yesterday. It had the thumbnails with the large blue numbers if you’ve seen them before. Very upsettting as the voice acting was better. EDIT - I’m not trashing your channel, you simply uploaded another version of the audiobook I wasn’t familiar with and it should be saved for historical reasons.
@@nesmandan1037 Absolutely, I completely agree. Never heard or seen the vids you speak of. Preservation was my aim in posting these. They were my original introduction to Dragonlance many many years ago. Peter McNichol's voice work really brings the stories to life... in my opinion.
Very abridged; and sped up as usual. I guess people do this to try and condense the stories onto a smaller space. Custom speed 0.85 is more like the original
Recorded about 20 or so years ago from my own cassettes on a standard dual cassette deck. Not sped up at all. Unles you're speaking of the production and not my actual recordings.
@@GetMeAReubenSandwich In my memory, this was fairly accurate depiction of the books. It just leaves some details out which also happens in movie translations.
Thanks for posting this. Loved listening to this after having read the book series when I was a kid.
Glad you enjoyed it

Agreed. It's like the anti-marvel.

Peter MacNicol's voice is who I hear when I think Dragonlance characters. Thanks for the great audiobook.
I grew up listening to these tapes! I’m giddily excited to hear them again.

I still have this on cassette

I totally agree! My local public library was exactly where I discovered them back in the day...
Me too.
That intro music is the same they used in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force "Dr. Weird" intros! 😂

Peter MacNicol starred in one of the early sword and sorcery films: Dragonslayer :)

Well, it is abridged...

@@nesmandan1037 yes this doesnt follow the book at all and yes where did that channel go with the bookmarks?
Was anyone else waiting to hear "BEHOLD"?? (DR WEIRD)
Behold! A weapon legend foretold, the Dragonlance!
No work should be abridged.
Odd you stole my splash screen for your video.
Excellent images. Shoot me some text regarding the thumbnails and I will most certainly give you credit.
Larry Elmore, is that you?

Fist And Dandalis.

Nooooo! Not how it sounds in my mind at all! Sorry, I dont like this version
Some love these recordings, and some don't. To each his own.

@@GetMeAReubenSandwich Yeah. In my head the voices sound so different. To hear it spoken like that is like nails on a chalkboard for me
