Limit Break Dancing
I never played the Dragonlance setting in D&D, but I'm quite familiar with it. I was (and still am) a fan of the fantasy novels, and I've read the whole series more than once. I don't know why the thought of playing D&D in Krynn never appealed to me. Then again, I can say the same about Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings," Lloyd Alexander's "Chronicles of Prydain," Terry Brooks's "Shannara," and Garth Nix's "Abhorsen." And I could go on.
And the thought of reading any of the Forgotten Realms novels never really appealed to me either. I guess I'm not all that interested in the novelization of a D&D campaign setting, either.
Wandering off topic, I wonder why Dragonlance was the one that got to be branded as an "official TS&R product" and widely distributed, and not any of the other fantasy novels of the time. It's such a robust genre of fiction, and as wonderful as Weiss & Hickmann are, they aren't the only game in town (so to speak).
