Message: <blockquote data-quote="KirayaTiDrekan" data-source="post: 6391288" data-attributes="member: 6755061">Regarding Dragonlance, Star Trek, and time travel based reboots...You can get away with a lot via a time travel based reboot thanks to the ripple effect.  This is why I have absolutely no issues with the many changes in the Star Trek reboot that don't seem to match up to the point in time where the timeline supposedly changed.  Why?  Because the point at which the timeline changed also affects all future time travel points.  The rebooted Star Trek universe's timeline changes include past events as the Prime timeline had time travel instances going all the way back to the dawn of time itself, which now may or may not happen based on events in the reboot universe.  Dragonlance can thus have similarly drastic changes, up to, including, and surpassing those described by our resident blood sucking rodent.  A kender, dwarf, or gnome time traveler going back to before the War of the Lance could potentially change events going back as far as the Cataclysm by altering the circumstances under which Raistlin, Caramon, and Tas time travel, or changing the War of the Lance so much that they don't time travel at all.  That would ripple through all of the subsequent events, allowing any number of interesting and dynamic changes (including warlocks, elves aligned with the dragon armies, etc).  All that said, I would also be perfectly ok with a simple Dark Sun 4E style reboot or a BSG reboot or whatever.</blockquote>
