[QUOTE="Son_of_Thunder, post: 1103852, member: 258"] [b]I have it :-([/b] Well, I picked it up over the labor day weekend. I don't like it. I'm an old timer DL fan, I still remember the year Dragons of Autumn Twilight came out. It is a remarkably slim book at its price. I, for one, would have liked to see a more complete book without shelling out another $40 for Age of Mortals to get the information that should have been put into the Campaign Setting book. The DLCS is mostly fluff. On the quote unquote crunchy stuff it leaves alot to be desired. For example, the Irda. Probably my all time favorite pc race. It is now a castrated version of the gnome instead of the magic using powerhouses that they are. To become a Knight of the Rose, which is the highest rank in the Solamnic Knighthood, you have to have a total of 4 classes to reach that lofty pinnacle. There is no section on magic items unique to Krynn, and the biggest kick in the gut was making Wyrmslayer and Wyrmsbane longswords. LONGSWORDS! In the novels and 1st edition they were two-handed swords. And as much as Dragonlance purists say there are no orcs on Krynn and any published material before now that references them are non-canon and heretical. Yet, for those who own the campaign setting, look in the section for Silvanesti, on the page with the minotaur standing in front of the Gates of Silvanost, just look about an inch to the right of the minotaurs snout and tell me what you see. The biggest thing is Wizards of High Sorcery. Even over on Wizards DL boards the fanboy admit that Raistlin doesn't fit within the framework of the new rules. Excuses are made as to his specialness and he doesn't abide by rules. Well, it just seems like poor game design to me. I guess I'll just use my old conversion rules I did a couple of years ago. My only decision right now is when I'll find the time to take the book back to where I got it. Anyway, Son of Thunder [/QUOTE]
