I guess D&D in a castle will be running stuff from this.

Which weren’t in the original either. All that stuff was added later. Minotaurs don’t even live on the same continent as the War of the Lance, so obviously they aren’t needed.

they do, just not as many as on the other continent

Even the classic modules were supported by the original 1e setting book and subsequent box set.

They were not, DL1-14 came out well before there were Amy player rules to support it beyond the core books.

My main cause for suspicion about Dark Sun right now is that if it is Dark Sun, which I think it really is most likely...all the books this year are kind of same, except for some theme.

DL5 was setting, that is why there are 14 modules when there are 12 adventures

Still, that is fairly minimal. A DL compilation updating the classic modules still makes sense as a product, especially with what WotC has shown they are willing to do with edits and updates in Infinite Staircase.

My opinion is they want to know the feedback of the PC species to test the potential brand power.

The intentions about Dragonlance aren't about more sourcebooks but this to become a multigenre franchise. If my theory about Disney as producer was true then there would be a opened door toward "no-canon" crossovers.

The future 5.5 Dark Sun will have to arrive with a previous independient psionic handbook, but before we should see some UA about the psionic PC species: maenads, xephs, elans, dromites, fraals, synads..

Nonsense. This is the publication order for the first six Dragonlance products:

March 1984 - DL1: Dragons of Despair
May 1984 - 1985 AD&D Dragonlance Calendar 1985
June 1984 - DL2: Dragons of Flame
August 1984 - DL3: Dragons of Hope
October 1984 - DL4: Dragons of Desolation
November 1984 - DL5: Dragons of Mystery
November 1984 - Dragonlance Chronicles 1: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

oh, of course, that has nothing to do with whether updating the adventures makes sense or not. That was just about there not being any setting info until after all the adventures were published.

As far as updating them, I do not mind making some changes, there is certainly some stuff that could be done better, but I would not want a loose collection of disconnected locations the way Infinite Staircase was. This should still be one big adventure along the lines of Tyranny of Dragons or Tomb of Annihilation, etc

I'll gladly take a crop of short adventures I can run in 1-4 sessions. I bought Tales of the Yawning Portal, Ghosts of Saltmarsh and Quests from the Infinite Staircase (and got my wife Golden Vault, Dungeon Delve and Candlekeep Mysteries) because of that (well, moreso because the first three listed were 5E updates of 1E modules....). I'd really love another book that covers the likes of Cult of the Reptile God, Ghost Tower of Inverness, Isle of Dread and Palace of the Silver Princess.

They might be able to make a longer campaign from the trio/quad Lendore Isle series of Secret of Bone Hill, Assassin's Knot, Deep Dwarven Delve and Devilspawn. Or perhaps D1/D2 Descent into Depths & D3 Vault of the Drow and Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits. Heck, I'd love to see an updated A1-A4 Against the Slavers redo (my old 2E party hated those guys, but it was a heck of a lot of fun too).

And there are a lot of good Dungeon Magazine adventures they could revisit and revive.

Doing one big, long campaign length adventure book is a serious commitment for 6 months to a year of play, hoping its worth it. A half dozen unrelated adventures, you can pick and choose what and when to run, or throw in just one for a few nights play in this or that campaign and save the others for another.

I am not opposed to short adventures, but this was not just a collection of short adventures that you can throw into ‘Tales from the Dragonlance’, it was an adventure path, so publish that…

I am fine with those in a new book too, they make more sense as an anthology than DL1, DL3, DL6, DL7, DL9, DL11, and DL12
