D&D General Weis, Hickman, and Manganiello update on Dragonlance world book

Looking at the white board, are planning on it not being part of the Great Wheel + Multiverse Cosmology?

what makes you think that? The lack of any mention of it one way or the other? To me that just means they do not care whether / how you do it instead of them being prescriptive.

Fine by me, any page concerning itself with that is a page better spent on something else…

What does FDN mean? It's used in a couple places. "War of the Lance FDNs", "Cosmology: FDN of universe"

Interested in the mention of the River of Time being used as some kind of gameplay element (left side).

My campaign is post-War of Souls, but my players are into the setting enough now that I could probably run War of the Lance in the future.

my guess is Foundation(s)

Could work out.

If that was real WiFi login info on that whiteboard, probably needs changing ASAP.

Not yet. I'm watching Netflix at the curb outside.

Is Cam in that group?

None of those look like Cam Banks.

Actually, looks like they were at a public venue, so that's probably not too big a deal...

Dragonriders? When I hear of dragonriders, I think about Pern...

Disagree. For me, at least, the characters from the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy are just as important, if not more so, than the setting itself. Don't really see much difference in how the "Heroes of the Lance" relate to the Dragonlance setting as how Luke and pals relate to the larger Star Wars story.

You can still find adventure in both settings, easily.

I literally can't remember the characters from the DL trilogy as it's fantasy fiction I read multiple decades ago and didn't make much impact on me at the time.

But I'm also not arguing that the Star Wars book should focus on the characters, I couldn't give a damn about ever hearing about Luke and Obi Wan again... I'm really tired of those heroes. What I'm saying is that I think a WotC Star Wars book will for sure feature them prominently at some point.
