Its generally considered that Pillars of Eternity kicked off the CRPG renaissance that we see running strong to this day. So the most proper answer is probably Obsidian. However its interesting to note that Dragon Age Origins kind of exists as the sole example between the two spans of time...

I wish Gygax had done this 50 years ago, would have saved us all from a number of issues, very possibly preventing the orc/drow business of the past few years from even occurring.

This is absolutely a fair point, my apologies. It is possible that SAGA could have thrived under completely fresh IP and different stewardship that wasnt late stage TSR. What was foolish was trying to shoehorn Dragonlance into such, which is apropos given the topic at hand. Simultaneously, I...

Allow me to clarify, anyone can take the Test of High Sorcery as a 3rd or 4th level wizard, in fact that is the ideal time to take it and when most wizards do so. They can also decline to take it if they are content to only practice magic of 1st and 2nd level, the Conclave will leave them alone...

Anyone can use 1st and 2nd level mage spells without worry, the Wizards of High Sorcery considers these folks to be dabblers. Once a wizard grows in power enough to cast 3rd level spells (i.e. once they have the capability to hypothetically lob a fireball into a village square) they are required...

The million dollar question. The SAGA system as a whole was misguided at best.

Wholeheartedly agree. Enforcing a kitchen sink approach to all settings is a disservice to the woven tapestry of creative art.

I am speaking of the Dragonlance campaign world as an entity, not this specific adventure. New adventures are of course fine, given that they honor the framework. Campaign settings are like living pieces of art, it doesn't really do them justice to compare them to a single use consumption works...

It will be interesting to see how deftly such is handled.

I don't see that as analogous. This is more like if they took the original 1939 Wizard of Oz film and edited it to make a bunch of changes then rereleased it as a the same product. I have no problem if someone wants to take Dragonlance and give tribute to it in a new product. Warcraft...

What a repugnant word when used in conjunction with an already codified body of work. (I mean the act of doing such, not your utilization of it in this conversation good sir).

So, this adventure occurs before Goldmoon finds the Blue Crystal Staff and yet PCs can play clerics and druids...is there any sort of in world logic given for how that is even feasible?

Knight Clerists of the Order of the Sword are an order of battle clerics devoted to Kiri-Jolith. They have been in the setting from the very start.

This seems odd to me. Is there really an audience clamoring for street level 40k roleplaying? I would think an RPG focused upon Space Marines and Inquisitors and high tier Psykers would be the draw for 40k.

What a beautiful Starter Set. I love Starter Sets. Will definitely be getting this one, and I still need to snag the new RuneQuest one too.

I am curious, what is the prevailing opinion on modern Legend of the Five Rings?

That is not at all what I meant. All I was saying is that people might be more and more likely to exercise an abundance of caution in their works. I will now state my personal feelings on the matter. Ensuring something is not a negative caricature and that peoples and cultures are represented...

They aren't really "my concerns", more just an interesting subject I thought to bring up in the context of the topic at hand. You might be correct good sir, time will tell.

Perhaps I did not properly convey my meaning in my original post, apologies. It was not negativity that is intended, but rather just an observation. This will result in less exploring of the unknown from the perspective of (a percentage of) creators and artists. You've heard the term "I'm not...

Collaboration is of course an option, one that will be pursued by several, but not universally. Do note, I am not remarking what should happen, but observing what likely will happen.
