No matter their age, not a one has played anything before 5E (I'm from the AD&D days), but they seem to enjoy the mystery behind why lots of people were, or are, excited about these other settings they've never played. Dragonlance has come up as one of those.I've run it, but never tried to pitch it, build up excitement, find the words that trigger a thrill to see what's there. In contrast, we did Dark Sun 5E and my gamers loved it because it was so different from anything they'd played. So, if you had to pitch Dragonlance (Taladas or Ansalon or the DL Classics War of the Lance epics) in writing, how would you do it? What would you say to build that excitement? I know it's there, and my gut says treat it like Dark Sun. Don't overwhelm them with history but mystery. Get them inspired by what's cool or different or new from the Realms. Show some art, make the world live and breathe. Even so, I haven't found the words I want.And please, I'm not looking to turn this into a thread to argue DL sucks or rocks. If you personally wouldn't run it, great, but we might.</blockquote>
