[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8381559, member: 20564"] You've made some estimations on how likely things are. I have different estimations for likelihood because I see the categories differently. The "Classic Dragonlance" novels are the most beloved of them, and after that there was written a lot of varying quality by a variety of authors. Being freed from canon can easily mean that they can discard those non-Hickman & Weis books from what they are writing, returning to their roots. The same article you linked mentioned a new protagonist. And we do not know when the novel is set. There is nothing that says the new novels need revisit problematic characters or races from the Classic books. A RPG setting book will cover a lot more area then a trilogy, and a trilogy will go into a lot mroe depth of detail then a setting book will - who's the server at this particular inn, for instance. Writing so that the overlap between the two is not contradictory is pretty straightforward, especially if they have also tapped them to help write some of the material for the setting book - or are just both working off the same setting bible.
