[QUOTE="M.L. Martin, post: 4828101, member: 4086"] DL may have a time-jump or a partial reboot, but a total reboot simply Will Not Happen, IMO. [i]Chronicles[/i] and [i]Legends[/i] are just too big for that. I strongly suspect that even DoSF and the War of Souls are too much of a perennial for WotC to risk killing the cash-cow with a limited reboot. There was one time in the setting's history I expected a partial reboot--during the War of Souls--but that was due to a confluence of factors no longer present. DL is what it is; I expect that any future DL line will be either 'back to the basics' or will pick up where the MWP line and the novels left off. Given that the novels are being put on pause--the novels which have been [i]much[/i] more successful than the game line ever was--I still don't think it's likely to be the 2010 release. As for the 'hype,' so far it appears to be 1) one draconian miniature--and draconians are one of the elements (along with Lord Soth ;) ) that have traction outside of DL. 2) Raistlin in the Character Builder--and Raistlin's been an iconic figure even when DL was dead or a non-D&D line. 3) The "Ultimate Dragonlance Fan" contest--which is arguably just as much about the latest Last Weis & Hickman Dragonlance Novel and the 25th Anniversary. (And if Shivam "Talinthas" Bhaat [EDIT: or Weldon Chen or another of the 'Old Guard'] doesn't win that contest, I will be surprised. :D ) [/QUOTE]
