[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 5172913, member: 20741"] I think you'll find that the obscure death rules were removed and that there were options other than what happened in the novels. I don't doubt that was your experience; I'm saying that the main problem was the usual one: it was your DM rail-roading you, not the text of the module itself. Don't get me wrong - there are some significant rail-road elements in there - but not [I]nearly [/I]so many as players report. If you have a look at the updated versions of the modules DL1-4 in the book [I][ame="http://www.amazon.com/Dragonlance-Dragons-Autumn-Cam-Banks/dp/1931567336"]Dragons of Autumn[/ame] [/I], which completely re-visits the modules for D&D 3.5 rules by Cam Banks, you'll find that those problems are gone. The only real problem is that the novel [I]Dragons of Autum Twilight[/I] really is a blow-by-blow account of the first two modules. After that, thankfully, the novels stop ruining the modules and the module experience - and the novels - both greatly improve. [/QUOTE]
