[QUOTE="Kanegrundar, post: 1372530, member: 3913"] Thanks for the lesson in DM'ing. The long and short of it comes down to the feel that the campaign gives. In the older editions, the setting lead you down a set path set down by the Chronicles and didn't give much information beyond that. The world doesn't give the feel of being big enough for my stories. Canon isn't important to me, but it is to much of my group. While I can tell them to suspend their disbelief, what's the point when I can set up a campaign in another setting that doesn't constrict as much? Overall though my main reason for disliking the setting is that it's not a well written it's a subpar setting, IMO. With excellent settings like Forgotten Realms and Legend of the Five Rings that raise the bar for what a CS should strive to be, Dragonlance feels outdated and poorly done. There are bits and pieces, like kender and tinker gnomes that I do enjoy having in my games, but overall DL is a very leave it setting. That's a shame to, because it did have a certain amount of promise. Hopefully now I've explained myself a bit better. Kane [/QUOTE]
