[QUOTE="Rygar, post: 7713278, member: 6756765"] This is a really good post. A few other factors to consider that would put Dragonlance ahead of Drizzt in terms of media... [LIST=1] [*]Dragonlance historically has been the only D&D property to appeal to non-RPGer audiences. One of the things that confounded TSR was Dragonlance sold really well as a novel line, but beyond the original modules it didn't do great as a setting. Didn't do great meaning it was generally #2/#3 depending on how the wind in Ravenloft was blowing. [*]Dragonlance is notable for it's very strong female characters who break the "Save me!" mold. It starts out with Goldmoon saving Riverwind and ends with Laurana spurning Tanis's attempt to save her while Kitiara becomes the strongest evil ruler in the land. Today this is a very strong selling point. [*]Raistlin is undeniably beloved and carries with him the promise of a strong series of spin-offs like Soulforge and a guaranteed money maker in the Legends series, if he is done right. [*]Lord Soth is another extremely strong opportunity for a spin-off, as he was also always a dominant character. [*]He also gives them the option of introducing Ravenloft to the big screen. [*]They can spin out a TV series based on the novel lines focusing on characters/series like Kingpriest, Defenders of Magic, etc. [*]They want a "Marvel Cinematic Universe", only Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance can do that. [/LIST] One other thought, didn't Margaret recently state she was selling her store to focus on "Novels and Movie scripts"? [/QUOTE]
