SotDQ's Lead Designer, Wes Schneider, apart from being one of the four founding creative talents at Paizo who helped create their Golarion setting -- is an Adv Path geek of the 1st Order. He was a longtime DragonLance fan of the initial DL1-14 modules. He got the gig because he asked for it...

If that's the best bullet you've got in your gun? You are shooting blanks. Forgive me for assuming an author who was making crap up was male. Usually, women are a little more cautious. But if that person identifies as a woman? Fine. I'm a little more concerned about what they say, not in how...

So, let's review: Author of article writes about Gripnr, a project somehow involving blockchain/NFT's and 5e. How this will work and what it will do? The author has no idea as the company isn't prepared to release the details of its plans yet. So most of the article is rampant speculation and...

There would also likely be draghkar, a winged vampire/demon like humanoid in the first season. There are two other fog tendril like unique creatures. It's not a very monster laden series. Another handful are seen by series end, though there is a rideable pterodactyl like flying creature which...

I don't think for a moment that this is the case. The books give more than equal treatment to the female protagonists as to the males. Fans of the books know this, so they don't need to be sold on it. At the same time, fantasy which involves swords and magic tends to appeal to a male audience...

I disagree. The books are "all that" and Sanderson's final 3 volumes are exceptional. If you stopped 20 years ago - you were like most (me included) at the time and probably stopped around Book 6 or 7. (6 ends on a dramatic high note, however). For all that, I agree that the "slog", book 7-10...

Realistically, the POV structure of the novel together with Tam's fever dream in Ch.6 of Eye of the World remove all doubt from the mind of the reader as to who the Dragon is. The series is not burdened with a POV structure. I believe that the fever dream confession will also be removed from...

In fairness, it's a "teaser trailer". Teasers are just supposed to be images to get you excited about the film/series without explaining any of it. Actual trailers are intended to convey to you the plot of the film/series, at least to the point where you have some idea what this is all about...

I've read through this thread and a couple of things stand out: 1 - There is a LOT of knee-twitch DragonLance hate here. Actually, some of the modules are excellent and their map designs were breakthroughs at the time. They made a ton of dough for a good reason; 2- None of you have mentioned...

It's not really a "retcon". It's a timing / era of the setting thing. DragonLance had over 190 novels. For the most part, the farther removed in time they are from the main era of the War of the Lance in classic DragonLance, the less popular they are. Any reboot of DragonLance is going to...

Nope. They are set during the War of the Lance featuring the original characters. The first one is to be called "Dragons of Deceit". Sounds a lot like a Lost Chronicle about the missing module DL-9. In other words, it's a second Lost Chronicles trilogy.

WotC did not have the option of walking away. They tried to walk away by not walking away. That got them sued. WotC caved. The books are coming out. As for that final part? No. Look, I know the ring of truth when I read it in a highly particularized claim - and that one had it. As for what...

That's not what happened. You may recall it that way -- but if so -- your recollection is simply wrong. (I'm inviting you to back-pedal gracefully.) Moreover, there were explicit apologies made over the depiction of Drow. We don't have to have an argument about that, right? WotC requested...

Not really. WotC approved all of it -- until they had a PR bomb go off with hiring practices within WotC on the M:TG side, contracting with a nutbar Qanon artist, and otherwise with their racial depiction of drow within D&D. It had nothing to do with DragonLance. But by that time, they had...

Yes, well, got to say this for DragonLance:: Takhisis is a helluva power and gravitas upgrade on Tiamat. From lesser godling divine prisoner on the first plane of Hell to Prime Goddess of All that is Evil. As divine promotions go, that one is rather large!

Yup. THAT. And I am ENTIRELY comfortable with a DragonLance reboot that isn't in the hands of Tracy Hickman. NOT THAT. I have ZERO problems with NOT THAT, too. Mr. Hickman's contributions to game design were many, historic, and very worthy of respect and veneration. The "Event" in adventure...

^This. Trying to justify the "gods of good" dropping an asteroid on a planet because of what a few people may have done in their arrogance was awful. Your world view has to be deeply-rooted in... well... yeah. THAT. How about NOT THAT?

Well, whatever the case, I hope WotC decides not to release a "setting book" for Krynn in 2022. They've gone down that road before and it wasn't very good. Another pseudo Tolkienized world setting is not what 5e needs. I'd rather they simply re-do the classic Dragonlance campaign for 5e. And...

Well, yes and no. Noble Draconians were a 3.5 gloss on the originals -- they were created by corrupting the eggs of chromatic dragons that had died during the War of the Lance. The shtick used to justify them was that after the liberation of the good dragon eggs Ariakus needed more troops. So...
