Making Fizban a good lich was something I would not expect, and probably wouldn't do myself. One of the things about Dragonlance was that the gods did sometimes appear and/or do something drastic like the Cataclysm. Rewriting it so that gods don't feature at all is a tall order. My feeling is to leave the pantheon, history and divine NPCs as they are and to just steer the PCs away from direct contact with anybody divine.I do like the idea of going back to Dragonlance, especially during the War of the Lance. I played in a DL campaign back in 1990, when it seemed very cool and fresh - minotaurs, new sorts of wizards, knights of Solamnia and lots of big, angry dragons were the highlights. The low-points for me were the three "humourous" (i.e. irritating) races - kender, gully dwarves and tinker gnomes. These days, compared to other settings like Planescape, Dark Sun & Spelljammer, Dragonlance seems quite tame, almost but not quite vanilla.</blockquote>
