Playing in ancient Ergoth (i.e., in the time period of the Ergoth Trilogy novels) is very much like Conan's world. And with the Legends of the Twins sourcebook (that deals with alternate campaign eras) and the trilogy of novels mentioned above, you'd have all the info you need.The way I see it is that Dragonlance is what the DM makes of it. If he railroads the PCs, then the campaign will be a railroad. If he doesn't, it won't be. Even the original modules allowed for alternate characters.Dragonlance is a very story-based world. In other words, it tends not to be a free-flowing, "let's wander around and kill stuff" type of world. There is usually a greater story going on. A lot of people confuse that for railroading. But hey, if you don't want to participate in the story but would rather just hunt goblins, you can do that too.Personally, I think Dragonlance railroads are overexaggerated. But it's the one thing that eveyone who otherwise knows next to nothing about Dragonlance can chime in on.</blockquote>
