Of course, we ended up having a sprawling soap opera-style campaign that spanned close to a century with dozens of characters in the parts of Ansalon not covered in the books (we used a lot of Northern Ergoth and later Pyrothraxus). The 'stealing the world' storyline was fortuitous, given how we switched to 3e with a timejump into the Fifth Age (including folks playing children of other players' characters from the Chaos War – it IS Dragonlance, after all!) and the change in the "physics" of the game made more sense after we learned what had surreptitiously occurred!While all the 3.5 MWP DL stuff was awesome – and it made for great resources when we were playing through the sidelines of the War of Souls to close things off (for then – nothing EVER truly ends...) in the campaign, I still never felt that the 3.x system worked as well for Dragonlance as I would have liked it to. I actually have REALLY high hopes for 5e working with the architecture of that setting (between the power levels, along with the focus on mechanics of Social and Exploration portions, as well as a return to work on Mass Combat material) and am hopeful with all the mentions that DL is getting that our favorite "epic fantasy" has something percolating.But don't think that we're not all going to be converting your MWP work to 5e to use with whatever gets published, as well as use it as a base for working on 5e DL campaign material until then! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
