I didn't really understand the re-release of the prism pentad series for by the last volume we are presented with the mentioned assassination of Borys... and then you read the Campaign Setting and go completely WTF! I don't think that should happen to dragonlance, which builds so much around the novels (trilogies). You see, after the brilliant stories from Pierson, Knaak, Thompson, Mary Herbert and, of course, mrs Weis in the AoM, I think the Cataclysmic wars are at bay. Revisiting the old "Dragonlance adventures" and the tales of the lance boxed set it came to me that the setting has much to offer as it is, and even more than before. But the 3e material lacks something  the 2e material was plenty of, something about organization and presentation. The 3e material centered too much in "the world that was" and confused many newcomers to the setting. Many already dead characters of Krynn were presented for what they was, but with little interest for the world that is. Well, if the world advances 20 years after the elven exiles trilogy it may be possible to center around "the world that is" which, for the players, is what really matters to a campaign. The world that may be is the opportunity of development, and the world that was (including the WoL, CW and WoS) is flavour and meaning. Those who wishes to deepen this flavours have lots of novels at disposal. Well, that's it.</blockquote>
