Do you have any examples? I'm keen to know what these non-DL things are. Cheers, Cam

In this weeks bonus content, Roger Taylor tells the story of the Sister Josephine, a transport vessel converted into a hospital and relief ship. Filled with faith-based intrigue and political danger, this ship is a great addition to your Battlestar Galactica campaigns. This free download details...

That said, I would argue that Dragonlance was one of the original Points of Light campaign settings. It was certainly set up initially as a sort of post-apocalyptic setting, and most people didn't travel further than their own town or village. Over time, and especially after the various wars...

I think I just did let you know. :) Seriously, I don't quite get your implication. You're aware this is a vibrant campaign setting with many authors and contributors, aren't you? And that during the 3.5 era, we did our best—working with Margaret, Tracy, other novelists, and Wizards of the...

To be fair, it does sound as if you've only read the Solamnic trilogy, which is the one that's had the most controversy surrounding it. You would need to read the others, especially Rick Knaak's ogre titans and Paul and Tonya's Elven Exiles, to get a better picture of what the 10-year-period is...

There have been two Cataclysms, although the second is really not a thing like the first, and the first took place before the events of the first trilogy. Indeed, the gods left the first time before the first trilogy began, so if you want to be a stickler for all of this the setting has (since...

I didn't say they were AFRAID of change. I said they either didn't want it to change, or didn't like what happened when it did. It's very common in shared world properties; just look at Star Wars. Luckily, just like with Star Wars, you can dial back the clock to any time you like with...

Kind of defeats the purpose, yes. Although I have come around to the idea that Soth went to Ravenloft, if only because Jim Lowder presents such a convincing and sound argument. Cheers, Cam

Are you still a heretic or apostate if you're the one labeling yourself those terms? :) I don't think anybody else has ever referred to you as either. Cheers, Cam

There was, believe it or not, a ten-year-plan for the setting developed at the time of War of Souls and for the most part carried out by the authors of the later trilogies such Richard Knaak, Paul Thompson & Tonya Cook, Doug Niles, and Margaret herself. Clearly some of those particular story...

Right. It's terrible when folks who've been fans of the setting since the beginning get together with many of the setting's creators and authors and, with oversight from the owners of the setting's IP, develop the setting further and with consistency. That never turns out well. :) Cheers, Cam

I'm frankly shocked you hadn't heard or read much about Dragonlance before, to be honest. It's one of the oldest and most successful D&D campaign settings in the world. Cheers, Cam

I had both tieflings AND demons in Price of Courage, the mega-adventure we published a year or two ago. And they had good reasons to be in there! True story. Take a look at the combined monster statistics charts in the original DL modules, too. Several of them look like an index to Fiend Folio...

We do actually appreciate the YA audience over here, you know. :) That sector sells through ten times as many books as the adult one in the same categories within fantasy and sci-fi. If we're appealing to the 10-15 year olds, then bonus. Cheers, Cam

I wrote an unofficial conversion document for our Races of Ansalon sourcebook and the Dragonlance Nexus put it online here. It's definitely a work in progress—I've had some good feedback from the fans over at the Dragonlance forums already. Cheers, Cam

Folks, Dragonlance is definitely going to go forward. The novel line is going to be supported, but they're not sure what exactly is going to happen with the gaming side of things. As to whether it will work under 4e? Absolutely. I have every confidence that it will, and in fact in many ways it...

Possibly one of the clearest and most sensible approaches ever, Jim. Thanks. Our situation, of course, was that we had no Ravenloft license, and as you say it really didn't come into the overall story for Krynn much, if at all; the good news is, those two books do a very good job of portraying...

AD&D2E morphed over its existence, changing from what it originally set out to be until it became the weighty game of Skills & Powers and splatbooks aplenty. I had a lot of fun with it early on, since it was new and fresh and challenged a lot of the 1E concepts, but by the time everybody and...

Yup. And I'm pretty sure the astral deva (as opposed to the monadic and movanic devas) was from something older. Tsojcanth's monster booklet? Dragon magazine? Man, I loved Tsojcanth when it first came out. Didn't care about the adventure, I just loved all the new monsters. Cheers, Cam

I have never known Margaret and Tracy to throw a "hissy fit" about anything, just for the record. For MWP's Dragonlance products, we just assumed he was never there. It's not explicitly stated, but then again, Ravenloft isn't mentioned either. And you came late to the party to be so bitter...
