Dragonlance What do you want from a Dragonlance 5e?

Just looked it up. Damn, you're right. Granted, this was the expanded stuff and not part of the original module, but, yeah, it's there. Kind of an afterthought and certainly not a high point of the adventure, which is what I was talking about. The dragons are just basically meat sack bags of HP with lots of treasure.

Modern D&D has kinda removed them from the game due to high CR and neating up Wrymlings aren't exciting. Or young ones.

Just to change things up, since ToD has already dealt with dragons/Tiamat and the big bad of SKT is an ancient blue dragon, WotC could write a Dragonlance AP where someone or something was scouring Ansalon raising or attempting to raise the fallen dragons from the War of the Lance, War of Souls...etc as Dracoliches.

Perhaps the rituals at first only animating the draconic corpses into simple-minded undead, but with every further attempt the undead dragons would gain more and more abilities until finally perfection: A Dracolich.

So still dragons but with a spin and you could possibly have some iconic dragons from the novels revisited that way.

Meh, like I said, they were never really used all that much anyway. It was 2e that massively upgunned dragons, and, well, since then, you rarely see dragons at all. I remember at the tail end of the 3e using a dragon in an encounter and realizing that it was about the first time I'd ever used a dragon in 3e. Now, I do try to use dragons as much as I can.

1E I don't think the game was really designed for level 10+.

Taking ideas from Dragonlance and HotDQ could be an interesting idea. Use half dragons, draconians and Wrymlings and have one every level. Quest for a dragonslaying sword.

There was that really nasty blue one in the 3e remake that hangs out in the moat house. TPK city.

Wow, I do not know this remake so I did not know this. This is pretty mean, because moat house in the original is some starter dungeon for warm up before assaulting the temple.

The DragonLance must be mortally uptight. He must keep his locker GI Straight. He must be willing to assault the beaches, the hills, the liberty bars at a moment notice. He must maintain his bills on
1,981.20 gp per month. He must keep his hands on his buddies squeeze when his buddy is TDY. Hoorah.

Dragon Lance does occasionally sound like a fantasy military rank.

Should there be a Dungeonland, that's all dungeon, too?

Yep, that was an Alice in Wonderland riff.

"Dungeonlance" just didn't sound right, tho.
