Dragonlance Campaign Setting: Buying?

[talinthas]

Taladas is awesome, i totally agree. But the reason for a fan to own the DLCS is not the classes or races, but the timeline, geography, and cultural data. Its comprehensive and collected, which is what makes this book cool. You can have skipped every product since the original modules and feel knowledgable and up to date with this book.

Which is why when they do a Taladas book, I'll pick that up.

I like Dragonlance so I will likely buy the book. Of course, I'm not a big fan of the Age of Mortals, I'm more of a Cataclysm/War of the Lance fan. Since it's going to be a year before the support for this area arrives, I'm in no big rush to get the DLCS. I'll pick it up during an off month when there's nothing more demanding of my gaming dollar.

I just want the updated aerial combat rules. Not enough to get me to put down $40 though. So the answer is no.

I'm not really a huge fan of DL - I like it, but there's a lot more stuff out there that's competing for my gaming dollar. I'll pick it up eventually, but not for a while yet.

No - I've never been interested in the Dragonlance setting anyway, it has absolutely nothing that grabs me and makes me think 'cool'.

->looks at pile of approximately 20 unread gaming supplements...


No, probably not anytime soon...

No. Only one campaign setting for me (and this doesn't fit into my rule-of-thumb that 75% must be able to be easily insertable into my campaign).

Re: Why not buy it?

Olive,

Well, if you're looking for crunchy bits, I'm sure they're in there. However, the setting is too limiting in my opinion. No orcs, no drow, no lycanthropes, gimpy (notice I didn't say Gimble) gnomes, a world that has been cataclysmed like three times within living memory of a lot of dwarves and elves.

It wasn't necessarily rescued from SAGA. SAGA was alright but to me Dragonlance is like Lord of the Rings, fun to read but wouldn't want to play there because someone else has already done it.

Son of Thunder

Ahhhhh! No drow; the perfect world! I do miss the orcs though.

As for easiluy insertable into a campaign or world, I think DL is. Anslalon is one continent on Krynn. Easily dropable onto a homebrew world...
