[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 8649324, member: 23"] ah, that one I can explain - at least the first part. See, Dragonlance was - or is perceived to be - the beginning of tightly scripted adventures. I haven't played them, but I have been told: "i have no personal horse in the race but my understanding is that the dragonlance adventures were a watershed in the transition from old-school site-based adventure to trad plotted-out railroad adventure" "to expand a bit, while i haven't played them, the DL module series is different from other previous modules in that it has players inhabiting the roles of pre-existing characters and essentially playing through segments of the novels" "and also, rather than using it as an opportunity to like, essentially play live fanfic of the novels where you get to change how things go or whatever, the GMing advice is basically "make sure everything happens exactly how it did in the books or you have failed, do whatever is necessary to keep it on track" " So that's the "beginning of the end" notion.
