[QUOTE="mamba, post: 8806529, member: 7034611"] I am not sure that would be easier… Let’s agree that the end goal is to return to an epic war between good and evil with armies of dragons and draconians, as that is obviously what WotC did. Well, you already had a setting that was custom made for that and had jumped the shark after that storyline concluded, losing many fans in the ensuing chaos (pun intended). So either you can make all the ensuing nonsense part of your setting and then look for a way to essentially undo it by moving time forward, or you could declare it never happened / is still ahead and return the setting to its origins. One requires actively undoing stuff, the other requires essentially nothing but a willingness to do it. Same as your campaign you mentioned, you did not continue on from wherever, looking for a way to undo the past. You jumped right into the original war, in a location we know little about because the original campaign was elsewhere. Just like what WotC is doing now. Granted, at the time you did it, maybe Dragons of Summer Flame and anything after had not yet happened, but resetting the clock is at least as valid to me as piling on more ridiculous stuff to undo the previous ridiculous stuff. I’d guess you at least did your campaign at a time where the original campaign was already published, in which case you did a mini-reset too. If they had continued on from wherever Krynn was last, finding some ridiculous explanation for how the setting essentially manages to find itself in a copy of the original war, but 50 or so years later, I probably would not bother with it. As it stands I am interested in what they are doing, so at least for me WotC made the right decision. [/QUOTE]
