I think something like that would actually be able to get me into playing in the Dragonlance setting. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Seriously though, the only part of Dragonlance that I ever found interesting was the original novel trilogy, and even then I think it worked better as a single story than as a game setting. If WotC wants to release that setting for 4E, I think they really need to wind the clock back to those books, or simply reboot it entirely to create a situation resembling the war of the lance that allows more PC involvement. I mean, just like Eberron works because it has a central theme built on the threat of a resurgence of the Last War, Dragonlance could work by being a setting built around letting the PCs participate in the epic struggle between armies of good and evil in the War of the Lance. It is just about the only thing the setting has going for it.</blockquote>
