Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE is coming this year!

This year, a hardcover book and a 'battle game'. Here's the teaser trailer! The adventure is set at the start of the War of the Lance, while the battle game is designed for 'large scale' battles. And they're coming later this year, in 2022.

• Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen
• Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn

Well, it's not a Magic release, so it's not the worst possible timeline.

Any info on if this is a setting book or an AP?

The Description from the video.

Dragonlance is coming back to D&D later this year! Battle for the world of Dragonlance across an adventure book and battle game that includes options to link them together as a new way to play D&D.
Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen is an adventure book that tells a brand-new story at the beginning stages of the War of the Lance.
Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn introduces a war game experience to D&D 5th Edition, featuring large scale military battles.

I wonder if we will see a reboot of the franchise, when the novels have been maybe the main hook for the IP.

Other point is if we will see only two factions (and maybe some subfactions). Usually the lore of the fantasy wargames are "everybody vs everybody else".

Demonstrably false. They just released an art deco 1920's mafia set, and I have such a mighty need for it to be turned into a D&D book.

I love setting it before the War. It's familiar territory.
Also the cinematic trailer makes it feel much grittier than standard D&D

The question is:

will the battle game just be its own thing, with its own mechanics not capable of being integrated (at least not cleanly) into the RPG—like the existing (terrible) "Adventure System" games from WizKids and (apparently) also the Onslaught game...

...or have they finally figured out that a straightforward but interesting mass-combat game that's easy to integrate into a campaign of the RPG (like a better version of the old TSR Battlesystem) would be mind-bogglingly awesome?

 

[Mezuka]

A battle game. I wonder if it's a miniature game like the battle system or a battle game on a game board map, like Greyhawk Wars.

long time ago there was a mass combat dragonlance game. i wonder if will be the same but optimized

I do like this product is an homage to old DL modules and tie in war boaad games.
