what are you talking about? there is no way to magicaly detect alignment. No one is saying "Hey that 1 or 2 good liers got past" is a problem it;s 1/3 of all them are evil that is... I assume they don't all hide there natural thoughts and tendencies 24/7.
D&D 5th Edition doesn't seem to have ways to detect alignment, and I don't think 4E did either, but previous editions did. Including AD&D 1E, which Dragonlance was originally written to conform to.
if they have 3rd level spells your choice is hunted like a dog, being killed, or going through a test that even if he passes leaves PTSD of it, but could kill you.
If you have access to dangerous weapons that ordinary people are powerless to defend against, then yes, you have to register with the local government, including passing an exercise that shows that you know how to use live ordinance safely. That can be harrowing, but it's how a responsible oversight council functions.
no it isn't... heck you can use paintball guns for god sake.
There's no magical equivalent of that, nor will using a paintball gun get you cleared for carrying a deadly weapon.
I never use him as my go to... but yest he didn't loose his but the books say they do.
That wiki says so, but if you note my previous post, there's at least one book which directly conflicts with that.
yes where the good guys try to protect the people and evil people act evil...
In terms of overt magical warfare, it's not that much of a stretch to say that more innocent people will suffer than if there's a state of peace (or at least detente). If we hold to the idea that Good wants to minimize the suffering of others, then not going into an all-out battle to destroy Evil is preferable.
nobody said "MUST DESTROY ALL EVIL" (except maybe the paly of vengeance)
That's the alternative to acknowledging the necessity of allowing evil to exist on some level, which if I'm reading you correctly is the basis of your objections to the setting.

to update and reimagine it.
I don't want or need to get a new star trek show that shot for shot repeats episodes of the original series (or next gen) but I love discovery and strange new worlds
Neither show changed what had already happened. This "reimagining" would do exactly that.

but it was made 35 maybe 40 years ago, if we are reimagining why are we stuck with 40 year old ideas?

that's fine... then don't call them good. Good is a word it has meaning/

or... just don't make a dumb tower test that is lethal.

make them more like hogworts houses one is brave one is ambitus... you can be good and ambitus black robe, and evil and brave white robe
Its like you refuse to acknowledge how dangerous magic is considered in the campaign world. Not everyone should have access to it.

You're fix is to make Dragonlance into Harry Potter. Think about that. From one extreme to the other.

but we are now talking about 5e

dude, how is live fire showing you wont abuse people... congrats on being able to kill things with your magic now please don't kill people with your magic...

no country I know of has you fire live rounds at a living being to prove you can shoot... you shoot targets.
That wiki says so, but if you note my previous post, there's at least one book which directly conflicts with that.
the rule books is what I remember saying it... but the wiki is what I can link I admit the main character does show it to be diffrent.
In terms of overt magical warfare, it's not that much of a stretch to say that more innocent people will suffer than if there's a state of peace
peace where 1/3 of all people that can alter reality are known to be evil...

nobody is saying to start a war BUT you
That's the alternative to acknowledging the necessity of allowing evil to exist on some level, which if I'm reading you correctly is the basis of your objections to the setting.
this isn't "evil will always be there" it's "Well since evil is going to always be there I will work with and protect evil... even from other good people"

how about EVIL people shouldn't have it.

I don't even like harry potter that much I would much rather dragonlance... I just want them to fix some issues that over the last 30ish years have come up and how we as gamers have changed

Again, keeping magic alive is more important than good or evil in this world. If you can't accept that, DL is not for you.

Though GM has a good point: if magic is so super dangerous that ti's totally okay to murder all hedgewizards who don't want to get weird with you, then why allow access to the cartoon villains that are anyone with an E in their alignment in D&D? I've been told elsewhere that evil will blow everything up even if it kills themselves given half a chance, so...?

1 show added a sister time travel crystals and holo tech that I have heard about like it destroyed treck. the other adds and changes some histry
What history did they change?

Even so, its a matter of degree. What you're suggesting would change the essence of the setting.
