Abrams Star Trek kinda reboot.Time travel is well established in the canonical DL world. What if someone went back and killed all or most of the companions before they could join the War of the Lance? How would the balance correct itself?After that, the question becomes, "Who has the power to go back and do something like that...and how?"I didn't mind the 5th Age...many of the themes were fine with me. I wasn't all that keen on the restoration of healing magic (it was within us all along...), but I did enjoy the idea that much of the more powerful magic could only be cast by draining magical items to power your spells. The 5th Age Saga Rules, while lambasted by many people, I actually found refreshingly original and wonderfully simple.The War of Souls, though...I love Weis and Hickman, I really do...but that was a train wreck.To me, the main problem with the Dragonlance novels was that they kept returning to the Companions. The books that touched on different eras or had nothing to do with the companions were just fine for me. So were the core Chronicles and Legends. The prequels...most of those were just awful.</blockquote>
