D&D General Did Dragonlance/Krynn exist in 4e canon?

I think so. I did purchase some of these back in the day, but as a newbie DM could never understand how to really run them.

The OG 1E adventure series was a big headache.

The 15th Anniversary Edition for 2E was quite good, and had more coverage for how to run the adventures with homebrewed PCs, even ones quite different to the assumed. Because it was just one book I think they pruned some of the material.

I am aware of the licensed 3E approach that broke the original campaign into three chunky, big modules but I don't know how successful that was.

I hate to dredge, but....

The FR Wiki approach collates all previously-established lore into one location, which is handy for players and creatives alike (and if you're telling me that people working on 5E have never used FR Wiki to look something up, I have a bridge to sell you), whilst not contradicting the ethos that people can use the "canon" setting or not as much as they want.

The FR wiki is a hot god damn mess that is honestly, hard to read. It just compiles everything together and holy hell its past tense on absolutely god damn everything makes it a nightmare to actively read and research stuff

If I get the choice between looking something up on the FR wiki or looking it up on the spawn of the internet's depths, 1d6chan, I'll pick 1d6 every time because it is genuinely better at getting across information. It splitting things into edition by edition and noting changes over time especially helps, whereas the FR wiki has absolute squat about edition by edition changes and is worse as a resource because of it

The Transformers wiki has probably been used for this, but the Transformers wiki is the gold standard all wikis should aim for, not the FR wiki

It took me a lotnof wrestling with Forgotten Realms Wiki to figure out when the Netherese Empire was changed into a series of floating cities, because that wasnin the original material, and actually contradicts a lot of stuff in the early ForgottenRealms supplements...turns out the floating cities were added in 1996, but FR Eiki just treats it as always being the case.
