[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5865728, member: 22424"] If there were no limit on the number of books WotC could put out, then I would have no issue whatsoever with them redoing the Dragonlance saga. As it is, they can only put out so many books, and so priorities must be set. I'm afraid to say that Dragonlance comes well down my list of priorities. Basically, when it comes to both adventures and settings, I would much rather see WotC come out with something new. I don't want to see another rehash of the Forgotten Realms (although I know it's happening), and I don't want to see another rehash of the Dragonlance adventures (or "Tomb of Horrors", "Ravenloft", "Against the Giants", or any of the others... although I'm sure some of these will be coming too). As for the Dragonlance modules themselves, I'm afraid they're rightly regarded quite poorly. Unfortunately, what works in fiction doesn't necessarily work in adventure design, and the consequence is that this Adventure Path is regarded as an absolutely classic example of a railroad. (However, if you do want to play through those adventures, you should surely be able to get them on eBay - there are the original 1st Ed modules, the collected 2nd Ed versions, or a version done under license for 3e... surely you must be able to find something to scratch that itch?) Additionally, I'm afraid Dragonlance has had its day. Now that WotC aren't doing novels (or other products in the setting), it appears to be functionally dead. And with all that's happened in the novel line, reviviing it may be quite difficult. It's just not going to be the massive draw for new players that it might perhaps have been at one time. [/QUOTE]
