A lot of people get all caught up in these aspects of DL and "can't see the forest for the trees", so to speak. In my 3-4 year running DL campaign, the party has yet to meet a tinker gnome. And kender have been encountered in isolated incidents. The party has never met any of the Heroes of the Lance and those characters have had zero direct impact on the party. The only person of prominence they have met and interacted with was Dalamar. Yes, dragons are a theme of DL. But that's to be expected and the party seems to enjoy encountering dragons of all different colours (but, even then, fighting dragons has been rare). The party has had only minor encounters with draconians to date (though that will change soon!).My point is that DL is not the stereotypes that some people seem to think it is. The world is what you make of it. The worst is people who say they don't want to be railroaded by playing the Heroes of the Lance. C'mon folks, that was like 20 years ago. DL has moved so far beyond that, yet people still can't seem to see past it. The only railroading that's going on is players and DMs who can't seem to function without the gaming company railroading them adventures and campaign rules. Make it up!!! Make DL your own world!!! Take what you like and leave the rest!!! That's what creativity and RPGs are all about!</blockquote>
