Again, the best of MW Productions cames to light, Jun 21 2008

This review is from: Lost Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home (Paperback)
This book works good not only for avid roleplaying gamers. Actually, it works even better for the romance-fan, with descriptions of many things, like new secret societies from the War of the Lance, new tales (the Crucible in the war of the lance was a great way to link present and past of the Dragonlance timeline), the description of one kind of characters I've liked to read from the romances (wülfbund), more lore in one book, and for the not-gamers, it comes with no game-statistics - just lore, and good lore. Again, my best rate goes to MW Productions! It's different when it is made with more than "profit" in mind, and every page shows the love the writers have for the setting.Just a shame, this is the last game product from MW, because the game license has no renew from the Wizards. A real lost for the Dragonlance fans around the globe.

Fine for Gamers, Not so Much for the Rest of Us, Mar 26 2012

This review is from: Lost Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home (Paperback)
The authors of the various books of the Dragonlance have always been pulled in two different directions--are they building a role playing game or a world to host novels and stories? Sometimes, in the best guides to the fictional world of Krynn, the authors can do both. "Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home," originally published in 1987, is an excellent example of this. It's a fine source book for gamers and readers alike.Gamers may enjoy "Lost Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home" but it simply does not offer much for those of us who wish to read the stories. Whatever the merit of the various Dragonlance books, the best of the writers--namely Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman--are usually very good on putting character growth and development front and center.
That was sorely lacking in "Lost Leaves." Unlike the work published in 1987, this book does very little with the characters who inhabit Krynn while offering often incidental information on various secret societies, kender courtship and weapons. Even the fragments of stories and tales offered here are rushed and seem more akin to a chronicle of events instead of an actual story.
Fantastic and wonderful worlds are great. But readers have to care about the people who inhabit them for a fantasy story to flourish. The characters at the heart of the Dragonlance saga were almost totally absent--leading this book to flounder badly.
While there are some interesting gems in this book, including some charming recipes, they are few and far between and the only character I knew more about was a minor villain. Gamers may enjoy this work a bit more than those of us who prefer to read novels--but for this reader who has been a fan of Krynn and Dragonlance for more than 25 years, the book was a major disappointment.

Good effort, but not 100% somehow., Feb 10 2011

This review is from: Lost Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home (Paperback)
Interesting and decent content, but the pages have a photocopied look to it.Inferior to the previous two books.
And maybe it's just me, the previous two books has much better paper quality.
I would rate this a 3.5 to a 4.
Good to have if you are a DL fan.
Listmania!
