Dragonlance

On the data. Roughly two hundred novels exist. This page lists ten things. That is on purpose. The line has been written by dozens of authors across forty years and a complete list would be a bibliography rather than a reading order. What a reader actually needs is the spine, which is Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's own books, and the fact that the first six of those are self contained. Chronicles, three books in 1984 and 1985, is where it starts and where the story ends. Legends, three books all published in 1986, follows on and is widely held to be better. Read those six and you have read Dragonlance. After that, The Second Generation and Dragons of Summer Flame move to the next generation, and then there is a twenty seven year gap before the Destinies trilogy revived it in 2022. The wider line goes in every direction, including trilogies set before Chronicles and companion trilogies that fill gaps inside it. Publication order and internal chronology come apart badly once you leave the spine. There is one film, and it is not a way in. The 2008 animated version went straight to disc, adapts the first novel and stops, so it ends a third of the way through a story with nothing resolved. No sequel was made. Wizards of the Coast owns Dragonlance, having bought TSR in 1997. Weis and Hickman sued them in 2020 over the Destinies trilogy; the case was dismissed without prejudice and the books came out from a different publisher in 2022.
