Dragonlance versus Forgotten Realms

[talinthas]

the differences between 3.0 and 3.5 arent that pronounced in the campaign setting, since most of the rules presented are completely new anyway. You could easily use these books to run a DL game with either ruleset.

That's what I've been hearing and IMO is easier to "update" 3.5 stuff for 3.0 than it is to update 3.0 to 3.5.

Greyhawk is apple pie.

Dragonlance is Dutch apply pie.

Forgotten Realms is Dutch apple pie with whipped cream and coffee.

Getting sick of apple pie.

A Word 97 file containing my essay (approx 24000 characters). After glancing through it once more, I have to say that although the style is 'childish' (as a lit student my standards in writing increase every year), it does have pretty much all textual evidence concerning the split elven races of Krynn. Note that the essay was written before the third war of souls book, which would probably detract from my essay had it existed during the time of writing.

Thesis Statement of essay: The split elven races of krynn display the dangers of bigotry and isolationism.

Played in (and read) a little bit about each.

Dismissed them both, right along with Greyhawk and most other pre-packaged campaigns.

Personally, I prefer creating my own worlds as they are much more interesting, the politics tend to work better, and the geography is more believable.

Oh, and there is less magic running around.

Personal tastes only, of course.

I heard you. I'm attracted to Dragonlance because I cut my teeth on the setting, but that's 3 quasi-earth/tolkien type settings for WotC. One reason I was so glad to see the next setting is supposed to be very different.

Everything I like in D20 is more edgy, or way different....7th Sea, L5R, Iron Kingdoms, Scarred Lands.

I just started a Kalamar game cause I don't have the DLCS yet. I should get it next week.

I do think that the Forgotten Realms stuff is drying up. I would have liked to see some adventure tie in to the Shade novels but nothing has come out. Ed Greenwood isn't doing any new stuff for Wizards. There's no new stuff on the web or his old Polyhedron. I think once Ebrron comes out FR might die out...

Force user gives me the exact reasons why I'm proud to use other d20 settings, with the Scarred Lands being right at the top of course. But Midnight, Oathbound and upcoming Dawnforge...just feel more and more my speed.

Hey, there's room for every setting, and these days, with so much ice cream and cookies, and brownies, and fried octopus and sauted snails, a guy craves good old fashioned pie now and again =)

Dragonlance is my choice because there is so much rich detail in the setting, and loads of history and culture. And with the new DLCS, theres finally room to play with all that, without getting tripped up by novels. Greyhawk is dead, the realms are stagnating, and all these other settings are too different (scarred lands), too dark (midnight), or too dull (KoK) for me.

Thats not to say that other people might not dig it. After all, even FATAL has a following somewhere =)
