Long officially on sale in the underground city, initially did not immediately popular, and even established in the TSR beginning to suffer a serious economic crisis in the first year, it sold only 1,000 to copies. because they take the audience as SLG players, and which also contains a description of the project without making a large number, so the original Dragon rules are very confusing with the underground city. This makes the D & D rules just published a few years, more like a multiplayer game Dungeons & Dragons discussion. after two years, with the player's slow growth The game was widely spread, and by a growing number of people love.

However, impermanence, Sheng choosing the decline. In the last century TSR 90 years the company failed to maintain the excellent earnings situation in the late 80's, the issue of senior management staff with a lot of Dungeons & Dragons game works way to increase profits, leading to the market a large number of poor quality, unclear rules of the market is flooded work colleagues, so many players are very offensive, sales the amount of sharp decline in the quality of Dungeons & Dragons players has caused widespread controversy, at the same time, too much blood and violence permeate the works of this period of the game that caused a Dungeons & Dragons in the West whether it is induced culprit in the controversy of extreme violence.

Admittedly, the loss of good staff is the result of D & D series of the root causes of the decline, and take the risk to develop card brand products also makes a big loss TSR sum.
Wizards of the Coast Company issued the It was a great success, into a play group once a pet. TSR in order to restore the decline also released his own collection of card games and can throw the game screen, but it was a huge failure. TSR took the company to beat rivals too much money, and finally into the abyss of bankruptcy.
1997 ��, TSR competitors, the company was acquired by Wizards of the Coast, as its subsidiaries, an era of giants finally hit the end of its journey, in the our view this is a sign of the end of an era, but in 2006 with the underground city be the most complete campaign background, but also RPG in the history of the world's most prestigious overhead. In a sense, the history of his being much older than the D & D itself. Ed Greenwood at D & D before exposure in the mind created the world in 1975 when he forgotten his home country for D & D game hosted. For the next 10 years within the Forgotten Realms Ed has been the continuous improvement of the In 1987, TSR Official the Forgotten Realms D & D into the background of the official campaign, published May Milton. data and publication of the novel.

this setting in a major characterized by dark elves, they had called the underground life. underground radiation so that they have many special powers. Their society is matriarchal society, and within each other for power, and conflict continued. Another feature of this series is called ;. This is because the history of the out of all the gods were all outside the spirit world. These are banished God expedition around on the ground, looking for the fate of Austria in order to allow them to return the stone to heaven. gods running around on the ground and causing ; wild magic br> As a D & D background in one of the most important battle, not only the Forgotten Realms game setting because it is known for detailed, a lot of good novel is one of the reasons it is enduring. This series of novels The most famous is RASalvatore book, chalk board story. because of his innate goodness he was forced to leave Menzoberranzan, alone in the dark underground world of a dangerous life, and even to leave the underground world of complete strangers to the surface. this book great success, boarded the New York Times bestseller list, the protagonist of Drizzt? # 26460; chalk board in the history of fantasy literature has become the most popular figures. this series is another well-known works by Ed Greenwood with the especially by a young shepherd children, embarked on the destruction of his village, riding a dragon mage vengeance story.

In addition the more famous Forgotten Realms novels also include a time of troubles as the theme of the Song Most of the battle for the computer game background. One of the most famous is the Westwood produced > If you ask what D & D campaign in the vast world, the most influential non-player groups, the answer is undoubtedly the Dragonlance series. In the great influence of the U.S. game Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonlance novel is most bookstores essential bibliography, and Dungeons & Dragons unpopular in those countries, Dragonlance novels is probably the only way to see the Dungeons & Dragons products.
While gamers have a great impact outside the dragon Shique gun series is the beginning to set in strict accordance with the way the game made. Like Forgotten Realms Ed Greenwood originated in their Jeff Grubb at home in the world led campaign. design team Jeff Grubb on the basis of the original set to be extended improved, laid the basic framework of the world, the game module and novel writing adventure officially started the. and the future TSR Battle of the world (such as Forgotten Realms or different degree of landscape) different, Dragonlance series is not the beginning of the first launch of a campaign setting set, and then launched adventure module (the campaign setting m> Adventure Modules m> additional data that a model), but the first series of short adventure modules to test the market. and there are the same adventure modules together with the content of the novel introduction. This way of selling the novel now seems a very negative campaign set mm neither played in front of name of the first, we can not rely on the same period launch its own adventure module also dead or alive, to dozens of name N can only rely on his own head and a real ability. What is more, this new novel (the quickly became a hit, but also makes the TSR for the series has introduced new products, creating a very large product range. It is worth mentioning is that the In the late 20th century by a Mr. Zhu Xueheng 90 translated and introduced into Taiwan, opened a modern English translation and publication of the first of its kind fantasy, for the first time to a broader range of Chinese readers access to the Western fantasy of this literary genre, and led in recent years been warming craze of fantasy literature.
O is also closed by the Battle of the underground city of the other major difference between the world that the Dragonlance product line of books based on the novel rather than as the main game. Although the TSR in the adventure module, area employment agency or organization, additional information for the content of rare books, even as the series marks the battle set the set is off for a long time to launch (and not using the . This is the large number of Forgotten Realms locale set in stark contrast. In other words, Dragonlance series, led the story, not the world background. to set the game itself, Dragonlance and other long and Underground City have hairpin h difference in the world. One of the biggest differences between the dragon set. as a series of centers, the number of dragons in the Dragonlance series of large, very active, and has a much more detailed than any other description of the world. But the most striking Dragonlance Dragon camp. Klein is absolute good and evil dragons, only representatives and representatives of the good metallic dragons color evil dragon, but there is no other world of precious stones belonging to a neutral camp long . Klein on the Master is also very distinct camps, each camp will be put on the Master's gown the color of their own camp, and only from their own camp, the moon belongs to draw strength for the study of a particular school of magic Master Specialization almost does not exist, only a few are not part of the Circle of the so-called strength is the weakest of all the Dungeons & Dragons world, not only and Tuorui Er (Forgotten Realms in which world) and Artas (catastrophe setting sun which the world) falls far short of these powerful world of magic, and even is not known for the magical power of Oslo (Grey Eagle series in which the world) it is stronger than many. such as Master can be done through the magic and its magical power resource that Trent C Klein weak may intervene in the gods, some of the forgotten kingdom series books Klein mentioned the gods will too powerful mage exiled V. Ji do not use dice, but with a being called merger of the TSR of the Company) announced that the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons Dragonlance will be used as the official system, but then they announced that it will not be published for the Dragonlance books any new game (that game canceled Dragonlance product line.) Finally, the Since the novel as the main body, the number of novel natural lot. One of the most famous to the number of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman with the Dragon There are thirteen series of short stories.
Dragonlance series of computer games are also very numerous. and a series of other types of products, Dragonlance computer games also put the story in the series focused on the main line. Gun Heroes, Dragon Rider @ products, and the TSR of the multiverse (Multiverse) in planes other than the main material only some very simple description, if the player to travel to the planes, then all would be encountered by DM need to rely on their imagination. This is entirely to DM (Planes of Existence) battle theme background - different degrees landscape (Planescape). relative to the other campaign background scenery for the different degrees of more mature players, players in this series is no longer the purpose of Down the dragon to rescue her, but to explore faith, philosophy and the nature of good and evil.
in multiple planes in each universe has its own unique rules of physics and magic, the planes you can walk through those who travel between these planes. These planes inhabited by various creatures of legend, one of the Outer Planes in general is also home to those who have been called In his own way affect the multiverse.
players mark the city is the center of activity (Sigil), the most pluralistic universe by the pain, Ms. (The Lady Of Pain) rule. imprinting is a fan of the city like the city, it is considered to be floating in an infinitely high peak with the top of this peak can not be using any magic spell in this city But business as usual, the city ruled by the President, but the pain of people in town have never heard her voice, and her past as the city's past is unknown. the whole city by the external supply of all Enter the city does not have any of the food production capacity, and most of the city is only passed a permanent population of less and less, and even the size of the city controlled by the pain of freedom, Ms..
Despite the different planes of the multiverse the difference between this and that there, but there are three reasons are diverse universe everyone to believe: first, the center of the multiverse (Center of the Multiverse), even though a center of people think they are different, there are The city that is the mark, and some considered the Material Plane, but in fact they are all right; second, all owned by Central (Unity of Rings), all things are to form a logical ring, or some form of ring style, such as a map drawn in the outer planes outside the domain (the Outlands) is a peak around the polar ring, while the other Outer Planes are outside the domain linked to another outside the ring; the third , everything is three (Rule of Threes), every thing has three possibilities: people have good (Good), there is evil (Evil), but also neutral (Neutral), things orderly (Laws), there is chaos (Chaos), there are conflicts (Conflict), the state has lived the life (Alive) has died (Dead) also die (Undead), in short, all three forms all have.
from the above three rules that can be seen that the different degree of landscape series in large part by the famous British fantasy / science fiction writer Michael Moorcock influence. But this is hardly surprising, all linked and multi-universe fiction fantasy game or no generation can say that they were not the master of fantasy . but the diversity was not the most attractive scenery in the top three are set up throughout the diverse universe of truth, but only in the outer planes of a law established - can not decide everything, but faith does to a certain extent, change the world. a person's beliefs can change their surroundings, while millions of people of faith can even completely change the face a bit! For this reason, different degree of landscape in which people often are not as common hobbies or interests come together, people together to form factions (Faction) of the reason is because they have the same views, the same belief. and the interaction between the various factions is a very important game composition. No wonder some people view the different degrees known as the book was accidentally involved in a pair of cousins, lovers, bloody war happened, not only let people know about the bloody brutality of war, also reflects the diverse universe of all things return loop principle. in this series were also two sets of novels written by Troy Denning The official explanation is that different degrees of D & D landscape in this series is actually one of the core set, but because the series itself is more complex, making the most of the players is difficult to understand, so that the planes are different degree of risk is the patent landscape lovers, so TSR decided to terminate this series to continue to develop, to walk through multiple planes of the universe and back on the Dungeons & Dragons core product line, so that everyone can enjoy a bit easier to face risks fun.
computer games of this series only one developed by the BlackIsle artistic expression in the great game.
