This December, Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonlance – Shadow of the Dragon Queen hits stores. Long title aside, this is the first time Dragonlance content enters Fifth Edition, so that’s a pretty big deal. This is a book that will bring your characters to war. Additionally, alongside the book, there’s an accompanying board game, but how does that all work?
At a press conference for the upcoming game, GameSpot got an inside look at the functionality of the board game–titled Warriors of Krynn. It can be purchased alongside the Shadow of the Dragon Queen sourcebook or separately.
The biggest question is “Do you have to use the book and the game with each other?” In short, you don’t have to. However, using the two together can add some fun to the gameplay. Game designer Rob Daviau told press that it’s a supplement to Shadow of the Dragon Queen, but it isn’t necessary.
