Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helena Real" data-source="post: 8744097" data-attributes="member: 84320">As a huge Dragonlance fan for the past 21+ years... I can only say that I'm willing to give the new writers the benefit of the doubt.Throughout the years, Dragonlance has changed and mutated a lot... Even from the very beginning and with the OG authors' involvement. I've been reading old stories written by Weis & Hickman, and they make lots of mistakes—or do they? They maybe are just changing and adjusting the setting as they grow and change as authors.Plus, lots of other people have contributed to Dragonlance in 40 years. Even in the early 2000s, in the true golden years of the setting (as myself and other fans see it), when we had some of the greatest books produced by Margaret Weis Productions, such as Towers of High Sorcery et. al. (which, btw, is like 200 USD used on eBay because of how good it was), those books introduced lots of new concepts and ideas to the setting. They weren't just trying to repeat or capture the OG adventures/gaming book/novels. They were looking forward.And you know what? Towers and all of those other books are set almost 70 years after the OG War of the Lance in world. Krynn has changed so much that it just doesn't seem like the OG setting in many ways. But you know what? It still feels and reads like the same setting, because its core values have remained the same. Here they are, as they were presented by Weis & Hickman in the OG Dragonlance Adventures book compatible with AD&D 1st Edition:... And I think those are great.In summary (and sorry for the long post!). As long as the new book is guided by these principles, it'll be Dragonlance for me. And, with the information we have so far, it looks like it will.I remain optimistic about the whole thing, it's what I'm trying to say, I guess.</blockquote>
