[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 6287584, member: 78752"] I have never understood fans' failure to acknowledge that publishing budgets have limits, and every book that gets the green light means another book has not. No, I do not want to see Wizards' D&D5 budget wasted on post-Dark Disciple Krynn. I consider it an embarrassment. Weis and Hickman have done so much else that is excellent -- why not capitalize on some of that and stop tearing open this ancient wound? It's a rhetorical question -- I know why. All opinion-based ranting aside, Wizards still owns the rights to Dragonlance. So enjoy your new post-"Goddess of Tears" Dragonlance supplements, as I'm sure they will be made and you will snap them up. Me, I will continue to weep for the products on which that money could otherwise have been spent. I likewise think reprinting existing material is a waste of budget, but the core Dragonlance modules comprise so many pages that I don't think I'd be able to argue against an official D&D5 conversion for the 30th Anniversary. I might even buy it, even though I own half of it in the original AD&D2 rules and the Silver Anniversary SAGA conversion. ...Yeah, so don't mistake me for a non-Dragonlance fan. I'm just specifically a fan of the part before Weis and Hickman lost creative control. The first time. Absolutely nothing. I will do this. You should too. This is another reason why I object to repeatedly casting Create Undead on the remains of Dragonlance. Poor Plaguescarred is in for a nasty surprise when he finds out what's happened to Dragonlance post-AD&D2, as I'm sure many have been before him. [/QUOTE]
