[QUOTE="Cam Banks, post: 4144303, member: 3817"] The War of the Lance is certainly the most popular period to game in or write for. My new novel The Sellsword is set right after it, after the Queen of Darkness was defeated but with the world still messed up from the war and conquered nations still under threat. But I do have to say that it's easy to see why people get tired of that, too—they're sick of the Heroes of the Lance, they constantly tell us (that's us designer folks) how Dragonlance is just one story that has to be played out with the pregens or it's no good, and that the world should keep moving forward. It's no surprise that it did, in the end, and that in order to keep fans happy they eventually killed all the original characters off, brought in their kids, had a couple of other Ansalon-spanning wars, and so forth. I happen to think the current era, post-War of Souls, the era we cover with most of our products, is the most interesting and fun to play in. But I don't think many people with only a passing familiarity with Dragonlance bother to look that far. Cheers, Cam [/QUOTE]
