It's main shtick is "you can play out the novel". It put the starch into hard railroad. There wasn't much "setting" as such, it was all escribed in the modules (so 160 pages to describe both the adventure and the setting) and novels. The setting book (which made major changes to the core rules with unique classes and stuff) and boxed set came later.And I think the latest Dragonlance ran into problems connected to the legal dispute with Weis and Hickman, as well as attempting to tie it into a boardgame which was itself too specific to appeal to anyone not running the adventure. I believe when they started work on it they hoped to tie it into a new novel series, which would have made sense. But with the new novels taking a different direction*, the IP didn't really offer anything to the modern audience.*PCs time travelling into the original story and messing it up could have been pretty good, actually.</blockquote>
