They've gone down that road before and it wasn't very good. Another pseudo Tolkienized world setting is not what 5e needs.I'd rather they simply re-do the classic Dragonlance campaign for 5e. And not just do an updated conversion. I mean a reboot. There was a lot that was innovative and excellent about the original Dragonlance campaign. (no, I don't mean the pre-gen argument -- can we please leave that aside?). I mean the campaign design itself. Re-do it. Hell, hire Weis to rewrite the Chronicles too, if they want. Change it.  She was a new author with limited skills at the time she and Hickman wrote those novels.Set loose upon them now with complete freedom to change the characters and outcome? She could add a lot more gravitas to what was pretty lightweight fare. She is 4 decades removed from being a new author. She has the chops to do it.Whatever the case, on the game side - there is lots to like; there were some great iconic dungeons, some of them with truly great and truly memorable designs. And some of them with really poor designs, too. And a terribly rail-roady design.  So change it.Keep most of the good - throw out all of the bad and re-do it.  Not just a new coat of 5e paint. Not just some filler and sanding and cosmetic body work. I mean a whole new car, damnit, that mostly looks the same.  Mostly.That's the opportunity they have. And if they did it right - it would give birth to an IP with film or tv potential. WotC has money. They are not dumb - they are smart at what they do. They could do this and do it well, too.</blockquote>
