[QUOTE="talinthas, post: 941072, member: 10339"] I've been playing in dragonlance for half my life (about 10 years now) and have never ever had the urge to play in the wotl or post wotl era. Its been done in the novels. Thats why i loved taladas and the fifth age. Wide swathes of playing field untouched by novels. And now the post WoS era looks to be more of the same. Cmon folks, DL is about the setting, not the system. Even if someone were to convert it to something like FATAL or RIFTS i'd still play it, so long as it was recognizably DL. Some of you might say that fifth age isnt DL, but then i have to ask, what about taladas? Dragonlance isnt what it is because of a formula where heroes go from solace to neraka to sanction to palanthas and back. Its a search for faith and spirituality. DL is all about deciding how you want to live. Now what i really love is that all paths are acceptible. The christian moralist has the war of the lance to draw on, while the eastern spiritualist has the fifth age and the internal strength. Hell, it can easily go the other way too. Post WoS will be awesome because all 4 paths to inner power are there, and easily accessible. Forget the heroes and the dark queen, and start looking at evangelicals versus new age yoga instructers =) Heh. it seems that every DL related post i make goes back to religion, but like i told tracy at gencon, Dragonlance is directly responsible for bringing me back to my hindu faith, so its hard for me to separate the two =) [/QUOTE]
