Might not be a bad option for newer players who want a brief overview of elements of setting lore.

The term associated with characters in the Chronicles are The Heroes of the Lance. So unless the Champions of Krynn is another adventuring group active at the same time, that title is nonsensical. Now if it was the Season of Heros, you might have been onto something.

What a surprise: the "WotC cannot do a single thing right" crowd is rules lawyering ad copy as further proof of WotC's ineptitude.

Yes. More than likely Ravenloft. Because it looked cool. And really: "We're not going to announce the Q4 book at this time because we want to build hype and have something to share later. Anyway, here is a picture of a well known character from that unannounced book..."

I'm not unconvinced that they MAY go with a Hunger Games approach: you are chosen (willing and not) to serve a particular City State/King in a contest where the winner gets resources for their people. Some are slaves. Some choose to represent their people. Some act out of fear, loyalty, or...

Video game. Plays by different engagement. Lots of people love Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and playing Cloud etc. I'm not sure how many. Would want to play FF7 beat for beat on paper using Cloud, Tifa and Aerith pregens as their characters. Different audience, different expectations. (Besides, you...

But art from one Three months from release would be done...

This is absolutely my thought.

Yes but the Infinite Staircase modules aren't an AP. They are a handful of very generic modules that has a frame device IF you want to use it. The DL modules aren't. They are hard to drop into another setting as they are so keyed to DL specifics (such as the Dragon Armies and draconians). I...

IMHO Dragonlance has always been a better story than game setting. To me, it's every problem with an IP focused RPG like Star Wars with none of the charm of getting to be something D&D doesn't offer. You get to bask in the shadow of the important characters and get to play the same stuff you...

See that's the problem. I don't see WotC doing it. Not in the fashion being discussed. I don't think you could release the classic modules without some additional support for the setting and expect it to do well. Shadow of the Dragon Queen was a module set in the same world and time frame with...

Just reprint AD&D second edition with upwards AC.

Not in the current PHB, which theoretically this book would be using.

Honestly there is a lot of D&D products that aren't for me. I'm failing to see who this product is for at all. Classic fans have already played this. Setting fans are going to be dismayed and the lack of lore and options. New players aren't going to see the appeal of it beyond it being another...

Honestly, I'm fine with that. Just don't talk about how Dragonlance is generic enough to just need the PHB and then go off on how stuff doesn't match Dragonlance lore.
