[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 3481328, member: 467"] I am 31 years old (32 in early May, in fact). Aside from Joel Rosenberg's "The Guardians of the Flame" series, The Dragonlance Chronicles was the first fantasy trilogy I read -- followed very shortly by the Legends. The recent news that WotC has chosen not to renew the license with MWP/Sovereign Press for DL has gotten me all nostalgiac for the setting. I have eery "core" campaign setting book or box made for every edition of D&D, but I have not really followed the MWP/SP stuff. Now, I feel the need to collect it all before it goes out of print and is gone forever. But that isn't why I am posting. I am posting because -- no matter its faults -- I *love* DragonLance. I always have. It was an integral part of my embracing both gaming and fantasy. ELements of the setting infect every fantasy campaign I run, whether I intend it or not, and I am always thinking whistfully of the great DL campaigns I have run in the past. Moreover, I see the fantasy archetypes through the DL characters. WHen I think "ranger" I don't think Aragorn -- I think Tanis. When I think Knight, I think Sturm. When I think Wizard, I think Raistlin. And so on. ANd even though I long ago decided that MW and TH had milked DL for all it was worth, I still purchased and read the Newest hardcover trilogy. And what's more, I still enjoyed it. I think Krynn -- both as a D&D setting and as a fictional world -- very much serves the same function as Middle Earth did for those born a generation before me.
