I love the "traditional" settings like Greyhawk, the funkier settings like Eberron, the "shtick" settings like Dark Sun or Ravenloft.But, there is one type of setting that I do tend to find dull. I stress that this is just my own personal aesthetic tastes, and not due to any fault of the people who work on said setting. And even having said that, I have to apologize to certain fellow writers, whom I greatly respect, who worked on said setting. This isn't about you, it's about me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Dragonlance.Not just Dragonlance, but DL is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. I can't really get into any setting that is based heavily on a story that's already finished. And AFAIAC, the "real" story of DL was completed in the first two trilogies.Yes, there are lots more books published, and yes, there are portions of the world left to explore, and threats left to fight. But it all feels like an afterthought to me, something that was tacked on to take advantage of the popularity of the original. There's nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't--to me--make for a compelling setting to game it. It always feels either like all the cool stuff has been done, or like it might as well be any other setting because it's newer, non-"core" material.Sorry, guys. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> As I said, it's no reflection on your work, and I'm glad you have lots of fans who disagree. It's just not for me personally.</blockquote>
