This epic war story begins with an invitation to a friend's funeral and three optional prelude encounters that guide you into the world of Krynn. Amy Dallen is joined by Eugenio Vargas to share some details about how these opening preludes work and some advice on using them in your own D&D games.

There is also information on the three short 'prelude' adventures which introduce players to the world of Krynn:

• Eye in the Sky -- ideal for sorcerers, warlocks, wizards, or others seeking to become members of the Mages of High Sorcery.

• Scales of War -- ideal for any character and reveals the mysterious draconians.

The article discusses Session Zero for the campaign and outlines what to expect in a Dragonlance game -- war, death, refugees, and so on.

Pretty sure I wouldn't be a fan of the desecration of my loved ones, but we all have our own views.

then that is what feature? the one based on the non evil no alignment needed any wizard can cast 3rd level animate dead?

Worried Peasant: "The king conscripted all able-bodied people for a hundred miles around to go fight his war and now there's no one to tend to the fields! We're going to starve!"

Necromancer: "How many bodies do you need and where's the local graveyard?"

hallow faust was amazing that way.

I can't imagine if you could make zombies do all the hard manual labor that many people would mind.

Paladin: I swear on my oath, I will avenge my brother's murder!
Ranger: you have my bow!
Barbarian: and my axe!
Necromancer: and your brother!

Maybe because they are raising the dead bodies of the village residents to act as meat shields?

I'll put them back when I'm done! I'm not a monster!

Again, way to cite the 5e rules.

Duplicate.

what else do we go by in a thread about reimagining a 1e/2e setting into 5e?

I liked the original Star Wars movie. I saw it twice at the cinema. How am I possibly worse off because of the new films that I did not like? (Other than in the rather banal way of having paid money to watch some of them at the cinema and found them a little wanting.)

Honestly, you could be worse off because the bad movies sort of convinced Disney to drop making Star Wars movies and start having it only on the small screen.

Sure, people might try to claim that Star Wars is better on the small screen, but it's just attempted copium about the fact the company botched showings in the original preferred medium that they quietly moved it to a new, much smaller medium.
