So, I've gone from very optimistic to a probably not after reading what I've seen here.  I'm just not interested in an AP set in Krynn where you aren't the Heroes of the Lance.  (Again, that doesn't mean you have to be the characters from the story.  Guess I should be absolutely pedantically clear about that because I'm sure someone's going to argue with me on that point.  So, no, I'm not saying I want the players to play out Caramon or Sturm.  I want the PC's to be the new Heroes of the Lance in a Dragonlance where Raistlin and Tanie never existed.)</blockquote>
