You said that they "could have just made a "Dragon War!" campaign set in Faerun and had the exact same thing." That is patently false, because the circumstances are very different. It would be a different adventure. Just as it will be a different adventure from Tyranny of Dragons.THis doesn't follow. Adding small communities of orcs in some mountains somewhere that fit a more modern take on orcs, or a semi-nocturnal culture of elves that split from their cousins so long ago they weren't even part of the ancient wars that define the enmity between groups of elves, and few even know if they're real, are vastly smaller changes than official canon novels made. They certainly don't mean that nothing matters and you might as well just set it in Faerun. It's an over-dramatic nonsense argument.Yes. Obviously.Hardly mine, but okay. Things change. Dragonlance is changing.Not really. Seriously, they don't need to make this book at all. They could put out a new setting, an expansion of Faerun, whatever they want at this point. Hell, right now would be a great time to put out a book where each chapter talks about a different world in a quite pamphlet length writeup, and then a section at the end about worldbuilding. They're making this book because they want to make this book. That you dislike it is immaterial.You're the only one heralding it simply as "the dragon war adventure". Everyone else is talking about an adventure set during the War of The Lance, on Krynn. And if you refuse to see the difference between adding a race that literally doesn't need to matter at all to the history of the setting, and removing one of the core pillars of the setting's history in the form of one of it's primary potentially-allied faction in the game world...I don't know what to say. The difference is both stark and obvious.</blockquote>
