Message: <blockquote data-quote="Davelozzi" data-source="post: 1367974" data-attributes="member: 771">I fit pretty well into your definition of the casual DL fan, but in addition to Chronicles/Legends, I've picked up a handful of the RPG supplements over the years.  I did pick up the DLCS, which was probably the first DL title I checked out in six or seven years.  I've never read anything from Summer Flames on, and don't really know anything about the War of Souls, other than the very brief summary in the DLCS.  Nonetheless, I think that they made the right decision focusing on the current age.  Over the years, many people have argued that what they don't like about DL is that it's hard to escape the shadow of the Heroes of the Lance and the events portrayed in Chronicles.  For me at least, setting the campaign in the later time period makes it more of a clean break, and opens up the world a bit more for  running a campaign that focuses on the heroes.  Not that you couldn't do that with a game set during the War of the Lance, but it would be harder in my opinion.Despite all that, I still would be pretty unlikely to run a Dragonlance campaign.  I agree with Joshua that there's just so much out there now that if I'm going to run a published setting, it's going to be something new and different.  If I was going to run a game that is more or less standard fantasy, I would rather use my homebrew, or failing that, either FR, GH, or something else before I'd turn to DL.</blockquote>
