Dragonlance More Dragonlance coming in 2026

[DarkCrisis]

More novels!

Does this retcon the old Huma novels? Or does the current trilogies time shenanigans cause a new timeline so not exactly a retcon?

Does this also mean WotC is taking the setting seriously and we may get more adventures etc? Hopefully written better though…

I'm hoping it is new novels and adventures (not nessecarily modules/AP) although I thought Legend of Huma and Kaz the Minotaur were fine enough books when I read them a hundred years ago.

The Legacies project is entirely disconnected from WotC now

Well they still have to green light it DL is their IP. I imagine they will also review it to ensure there is nothing that would embarrass them.

Y'know... I'll say it. I liked Tass as a character. However - much like the drow ranger clones that also appeared at tables - the vast amount of people using the kender trope to essentially grab control of tables I was at and disrupt the game was maddening. Not to go off on too far a tangent, there are ways to have that character and not be disruptive to the game - to me, the realest Tass ever was was when Flint died.

I feel the same about any revival of a setting or IP, be it DL or Star Wars, Star Trek, Who, etc - show me something we haven't seen before. A world generally has millions or billions of living souls - not every work needs The Heroes of the Lance worked back in, or for someone to be a Skywalker by blood.

Some times I wonder how would be a tensei(rebirth) manga ser in Dragonlance. The main characters are from Kamigawa: Neon Dinasty killed during the Phyrexian invasion. Then they reincarnated into Dragonlance, but with some changes, for example Laurana is redhaired, Tas is female, Raistlin shows tribal tatoos on his face... Later they discover this Krynn is not the original timeline.. but either totally artificial. The chronomancers, time-travelers and some rogue time-dragon altered the timeline, and then some secret power rewritten this variant to save some important thing. Then this would be like a spin-off.

I admit I enjoy with your surprised faces, but this so fool idea could help for the rebirth of the saga.

In the novel "Tanis: the shadow years" (OK, this may be a little spoiler) he traveled to a "special zone". This was not a true time-travel toward the past but more toward a "dreamscape".

Maybe in this alternate timeline the Vodoni empire from other wildspace arrive with conquest plans.. (but they stopped when their own home was attacked by the Phyrexians). In the age of despair the divine magic didn't work in the traditional work, but the faith survived thanks the psionic ardents. The bad news is also ardents of false deities or from other wildspaces also appeared.

There are gem dragons in the "Krynnspace" but the continent of Absalon is too "noisy" for their taste. The planet Zivilyn was not destroyed..... totally, but it had to be evacuated. Some times there are planar rifts with wages of refugess or planar explorers from the "Athasian tablelands".

My main worry about the 2024 ruleset is the addition of dance bards will precipitate a bunch of Starlord clones.
