So what is your take on DL? Sticking to dime edition, or version of older rules, or maybe trying to emulate a specific set of books? For example the new WotC DL, although set in the original trilogy, have rules that don't represent the story much at all. How have you gone about this?

Hi, great question. Although the book will feature two complete adventures, it is primarily a supplement of player and DM options. As such, the material can be used for any of the Ages in Krynn's history. Since this is for 5th edition, we do try to respect any choices WotC has made, but only where there is overlap. We had 19 designers (writers) working on this book, most of whom have a long history as fans of Dragonlance, whether it is the novels, the past D&D releases, or both. So I think reading through the book in its entirety you'll see bits from throughout the history of Dragonlance, but what I think makes the book great is that you can pick and choose what to use because it's not just an adventure, it's a supplement. Also, on a practical level, you will find some material from past editions that has been converted to fifth. Quite a mix I'd say. I hope you check it out!!

Is it PoD?

It will be but not at launch due to the amount of time it takes to prepare the files on the printer's side and the print proof process. I'd expect within about a month of launch, it will be available. That said, if you choose to purchase the digital edition before the hardcover comes out, just email me your receipt or screen cap of proof of purchase, and I'll send you a discount to get the hardcover at essentially what the cost would've been if you had bought the digital + hardcover bundle. That way you can use it day one digitally and then get the POD without incurring more cost than you would have if POD+digital had been available day 1.

Can you show us the credits page?

Sure. Here's an image of the credits section. A number of the designers have worked on Splinterverse Media titles previously, but many have other DM's Guild or OGL (such as DriveThruRPG) titles to their names as well.

The image is from the digital version, which is hyperlinked throughout. The hyperlinks here take you to sites provided by the creators to give you more information on their work.
