Not withstanding the valid points about "irritating" racial stereotypes for all the short people, and the metanarratives (although really, a DM doesn't *have* to present an end of the world situation, any more than an FR DM has to have the involvement of Elminster or Drizzt in every campaign...), it's brilliant!Personally, I think its strength lay in the fact that it was different from other 3e settings - high magic but lower medieval feel than FR. I personally don't like how it was forced to include Sorcerers/Mystics etc. (although I have nothing against the rules - it's just a fluff-based objection) in the 5th Age. I preferred it when wizards were wizards.Fortunately, the Dragonlance setting is very fond of time travel and alternate time lines, and there is an excellent source book (Legends of the Twins? something like that...) which covers settings in which the Chaos War, the War of Souls etc. did not happen - so you can keep the "old" setting if you prefer.Oh, and as others have said - there is some excellent material for DL, IMO better than much of the WotC campaign-specific stuff. If you don't fancy searching ebay for hard back copies there are plenty of knocked-down pdfs out there to get at very reasonable prices.</blockquote>
