Item - Chronicles 1: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

This is not a gamebook, but several in the Super Endless Quest series are based on the world built from this series.

I read this book as a pre-teen in my formative years and for a while it was important to me. Looking back, I can see the flaws in the series, but it did a lot for epic questing and changing the style of D&D. I was surprised that the novels were based on the modules, which came out first.

This one is by far the best in the series, introducing the cast of characters and the world of Krynn. Overall the novel balances the multiple personalities well, introducing a large cast of characters. Big, dumb Caramon and his sinister brother Raistlin. Comedy relief from Flint the Dwarf and Tasselhoff the Kender. The dull leader Tanis and his why-would-she-bother-with-him girlfriend elven Princess Laurana.

A good read if you haven't read it before.
