EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is archived from the old site. The links are out of date. We will be working on updating all info as soon as possible.
One of the most requested features is a chronological list of the books in the order in which they happen in the Dragonlance setting. A list was originally compiled by Harold Johnson and Sue Weinlein in Dragon Magazine #224. Unfortunately, that list has fallen out of date as new books have been published. The list below is based on that one, but our goal is to keep current with the release of new Dragonlance books and to keep this list up-to-date. A list that includes seasons and short stories in also available here. If you’re looking for a list of books by date published, you can find that here.
Corrections and “Missing” Books
As a general rule, we do not include books in this list unless we are certain about the date in the chronological history of Krynn. As a result, some books are not listed. If you see a book that’s missing or one that is listed with the incorrect date, let us know. Please be sure to include the date you think is correct!
