Undecided currently. Much like Morrus, Chronicles was what got me playing D&D. I have never had the opportunity to play in the setting, though I have been building out a campaign over the last six months in the immediate post-war period.
Though I loved the SAGA rules as I felt that they really allowed one to mimic the characters in the fiction, my standard for Dragonlance has always been the world as it was presented in Chronicles, with a wide-open setting after Spring Dawning. I’ve read a few of the other novels, and just didn’t care for the changes to the world. I greatly enjoyed the most recent novel by W&H, but purchasing the new adventure will depend on how much is retconned. I don’t have a problem with the initial world as it is present at the time of the War of the Lance, in part because it gives reason for conflict and drama, and also because the situation improves (xenophobia drops, the KoS realize that women can be warriors as well, there’s hope for peace). I like the idea of coming out of a dark age into a new golden age. If too much is changed, so that I will have to do a great deal of modifications to the adventure, then I will pass.
Despite my current status, though, I am beyond thrilled that Dragonlance is getting brought back. I have honestly always thought that it needed to be TSR’s/WotC’s D&D flagship world. YMMV, of course.
