I think that my major problem with Dragonlance is the overarching metaplot going on with the Heroes of the Lance and so on. In early versions of DL, if you wanted to just run your own version of the War of the Lance, everything was fine, you could just go with it and still use the sourcebooks and modules. You can still do it now, but the recent history of the setting is closely tied with the novels, the war of the twins, war of souls, legacy of the heroes of the lance etc etc. If you played your campaign with other heroes and had a completely different outcome from the original module, you're stuck with the basic material and can't use a big portion of the present flavor. It's like the DL setting is railroading the DMs themselves ! That's what I don't like about it. I like DL's flavor. I love the old AD&D campaign book. I disconnected with the metaplot just prior to the War of Souls. Now, I just don't want to make the effort of catching-up anymore.</blockquote>
