Legend
I think expecting DL from what Perkins is saying is pretty silly. Dragonlance, bless its heart, is one of the weakest D&D settings in terms of appeal. It's an old-fashioned, generic-fantasy setting, based on a decent but not great series of fantasy novels, which are little-read today. The core of the setting is a trite mash-up of Tolkien, vague Christianity, and 1970s sorta-liberalism (like, they include black people, but marginalise them, and include Native American analogues, but go full noble savage and make them include white people). Also Kender who are like Halflings minus all the charm and with a giant dose of kleptomania!
At the edges of the setting there is some fantastic stuff. Irda, Taladas, and so on. The Solamnic Knights aren't terrible either, nor are some elements of the war of the lance. I have pretty much every DL game book and many of the novels up to 2000 and something I note, but if has to be near the bottom of the list for settings to revive.
