Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

Err, wrong. Wasn't Expedition to CASTLE RAVENLOFT just released a few months ago?

Wouldn't be surprised to see an Expedition to Pax Tharkas or something like that pop up in the not so distant future. Or more likely, the Dragonlance Movie RPG Companion or such.

After the cartoon is released, I'll bet a module that follows the events of the movie (yes, I know about the books and original modules) would be a best-seller.

MWP had recently releced a module that follows the events of the movie and some. Not to mention there War of the Lance source book. If this is there plan I'm interested to see what they have in mind.

Now I know it is a paraphras, but:

BEN: In my experience, there's no such thing as coincidence.

Once is bad luck, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.

Already done! MWP released a 3.5 conversion of the original modules that comprise Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Its EXCELLENT. I've used it as a quick through together night of fun when our original game just couldn't be played...for whatever reason.

Something huge is on the horizon. What this might be, exactly, I do not know.

I am feeling very uneasy.

IAnd on to a semi-related topic... Did Paizo and Weiss get their licenses at the same time? I am not remembering that point clearly at all. If so, then it is possible that this is a literal coincidence. The licenses ended together because they were made at the same time.

Best I can determine, it appears they were granted around the same time. Paizo got their license in 2002, and while I was unable to find a specific announcement, the earliest references I found to Dragonlance RPG rights being licensed to Sovereign Press were also in 2002.

September '02 for DL, and July '02 for Dragon/Dungeon.

I bow before your google-fu.

LOL!

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

Margaret Weis posted on their message boards that it was WotC who initiated ending the license...or rather, not renewing it. There was a link provided in one of the EN World threads, which went directly to the post on Margaret Weis' website.
