Just because the companions were the characters in the original trilogy that doesn't mean that your characters can't play just as an important role in the setting. The same goes for the metaplot in general. When Qualinesti fell during the War of Souls was it so dominant that it had an affect on your characters on Mithas? Did the main characters actions prevent yours from performing just as important and relevant actions? No. Theres more to Dragonlance than standing in the shadows of the companions.Sadly I have to agreed a little here. I was turned off the setting when the Chaos War happened, and its taken me this long to really come back to the setting. It really was a case of too much too soon, and TSR jumped the shark here IMO.Now that doesn't mean that DM's can't choose to play when they want to. My campaigns are always set following the WotL and the Blue Lady's War, because I think thats the most interesting time for me.I don't think you are quite understanding the role that kender, gully dwarves and tinker gnomes have in DL. Dragonlance can be quite the dark setting, just read through the chronicles and see for yourself. These races are there to help provide hope and to lift people from the darkness. Sure, I accept that to some the humour factor is too much and theres nothing I can say to change that view, but I do suggest that you look at what those races were there for before hating them so much.Not to mention that some players really can't play a Kender right.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
