Except the ones that aren't. Also, Dragonlance is perfect for mass battle and war-facing rules.Honestly I am vexed that people believe this. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, but... why...?
Dragonlance isn't a setting that can offer very much. It's a very middle-of-the-road, poorly world-built (sorry but it is), generic fantasy setting, which doesn't offer any particularly exciting new vistas for D&D, doesn't feature stuff that appeals to large groups of players in 2021, is based on books that were last popular with people just little older than me, so 40+, and thus 13% of the playerbase at max. It doesn't even have any new classes, or really any races that aren't already pretty well-dealt-with.
The novels will likely address/retcon some of the problematic issues.It would also require a rework to get rid of problematic setting elements, and setting elements rules-incompatible with 5E, which would annoy the very people you'd apparently be targeting.
Depends on the terms of their licence.Also, you know what WotC gets by boosting the sales of the new Dragonlance novel? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. They are not the publisher, and they do not benefit from it.
I think you're letting your dislike for the setting cloud your judgement. Time will tell. If I'm wrong, so be it.Spelljammer is near-certain, but I will be genuinely surprised, at this point, if Dragonlance is one of the "4 classic settings". Also pretty disappointed because what a goddamn waste.
