I would recommend you start with Dragons of Autumn twilight, as Soulforge isn't the best for plotline unless you simply can't get enough of Raistlin.
order I recommend:
Chronicles
Dragons of Autumn Twilight
[perhaps the newly released Dragons of Dwarven Depths here to fill in a few gaps]
Dragons of Winter Night
Dragons of Spring Dawning
Legends
Time of the Twins
War of the Twins
Test of the Twins
[and if you're sufficiently obsessed with Raistlin, Soulforge and Brothers in Arms]
Second Generation
Dragons of Summer Flame

Okay, thanks much. I'll try to read those as soon as I can get my hands on them.
Out of curiousity, LDM, is that Raistlin in your banner (considering it says "the soulforged" and the book w/ him is called Soulforged)? Don't kill me if I'm wrong, but I've been wondering who the people on your banner are from, and DL seems the mostly likely source.

Yes, I believe that's Raistlin  It looks like pictures from the Legends series...

that would be his twin brother Caramon and the cleric Crysania. the text is from the chorus of the song "The Soulforged" by Blind Guardian.
And from the flames As chance would have it The soulforged will come into light And from the flames as chance would have it The soulforged, The stainless will rise

That's a really awesome banner LDM ^^  It's hard to make banners from books, but you've managed it!
Yay for Raistlin!

I love these Chronicles. Especially Rasitlin, I really did love his character in all of the Chronicles.
Seriously... what is with Mina? I don't really like the series after all of the companions have passed, except for Goldmoon, just because it doesn't have the same appeal to it. And Mina.... arghhhh. She just makes me angry.
And I've yet to read the Twins Trilogy... I haven't been able to find it without having to order it.

There's something about the original Companions that so endears them - perhaps the fact that they look good together or the romantic aspect of it, that they never wanted to save the world but in the end they did it anyway. Decades later when they're all gone, Krynn seems a strange and foreign place. When I first began WoS I was trying hard to find something familiar that links Ansalon back to its days of epic glory during the War of the Lance. Familiarity lay with the ever-enduring elven kingdoms, the presence of Khellendros, the few heroes still alive...
and that's where Mina comes in.
