[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8810718, member: 22779"] Swimming a few pages back upthread. I think it's really, really telling that the "Dragonlance canon must be respected" crowd won't answer this. I've brought this up repeatedly that the whole "no orcs" thing is something that was added MUCH later. As in years after the modules dropped. I believe (although I don't have a quote) that it appears in the Dragonlance Adventures book, but, again, that's like two years after the modules wrapped up and was largely there to backfill restrictions that didn't exist and also to make sure that 1e D&D got cut out of the mix by not allowing half-orcs into the setting. The point is though, for all people keep insisting that canon must be respected, as usual, there's a real selection bias as to what "counts" as canon or not. They are apparently reverting Dragonlance back to it's original form. Which, to me, is about is good as you could want it for moving forward. You can always add that other stuff back in if you want, but, let's have the setting the way it was originally meant to be played first instead of playing "pin the tail on the canon" and try to guess which canon "counts" and which doesn't.
