At the time, the DL modules looked silly to me, and I never purchased one, and got out of gaming for 15 years.After reading the chronicles I picked up the SAGA boxed set and Tales of the Lance box. Loved the former, thought the latter was unexciting at best. But still, I never got hardcore into DL, and sold them both. I was really looking forward to the DLCS, and after purchaisng it several months back,  I am very disappointed in it. Basically it's designed for the hardcore DL fan who can fill in alot of holes. It comes off as a history lesson of the novel events. After finishing the book, I found myself thinking "now WTF do I do with this?" (as a DM). It feels incomplete. I thought the SAGA set did a much better job of setting up DL as a viable world to game in. Much smaller, but much more useful. I've seen several folks recommending on this board and others that the AoM book helps the DLCS quite a bit. I never did pick it up though. Kinda miffed about the whole damn thing.Whether you love the Realms or not, as someone else mentioned, the FRCS is the textbook example of how to make a setting book. The DLCS, while a well written product, is a poor gaming product AFAIC.</blockquote>
