A look at Minotaurs


Review:  Taladas: The Minotaurs.  (DLR2) By Colin McComb.  Published in 1991.

Taladas is one of my favorite settings.  It is another continent on the world of Krynn.  It has a one sentence description in the Dragonlance Adventures hardcover book.  In the future, I will review both Taladas, and Dragonlance Adventures at length.  The focus of this review is on a supplement about the minotaurs of Taladas.  Overall DLR2 provides more details about one of the significant inhabitants of Taladas- the minotaurs.  About 1/8 of Taladas is an empire (the League of Minotaurs) that resembles the later Roman Empire and many of the citizens of the League are minotaurs.  The ruling class of the League including the emperor are minotaurs.  DLR2 provides lots of good material to work with for a Taladas campaign for minotaurs including several interesting adventure ideas.  I would certainly recommend it to collectors and Dragonlance/Taladas fans.  With the cultural background that it provides, it could be used to bring minotaurs into another first or second edition D&D campaign.  A very solid product, in the good but not great category.  3 out of 5 stars.
