[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8569806, member: 5948"] The heroes of the lance are the most important hook of the Dragonlance franchise maybe (Critical Role is the most important single hook for modern D&D more broadly), but it's been a long time since Dragonlance has mattered to WotC. There has never, in nearly 25 years of WotC owning D&D, been a WotC-published Dragonlance. Even in the 3e era they licenced it out. Dragonlance at the moment matters to people in my age bracket. And there was a survey recently that said only 13% of D&D players are over 40. WotC won't be making a 5e Dragonlance to appeal to that 13%, they'll be trying to make a modernised version targeted at people born since the development of the web browser. For an older gamer, trying to 'pass on the hobby' by buying classic, un-updated Dragonlance stuff with 80s big hair Elmore artwork for a young gamer would be like a parent playing the music of their youth to their teenage kids. Probably just met with eye-rolling. [/QUOTE]
