[QUOTE="Libertad, post: 8308643, member: 6750502"] A revision to Gully Dwarves and Kender of some kind. I doubt that outright kicking them from the setting is an option, particularly for Kender given how iconic they are. But something to make them more than just a comic relief race is ideal. Also there should be focus on the 4th Age/Age of Despair. Like it or not, that's the most popular era by far, and while the 5th Age is the current timeline it is rather controversial among fans. Rules for dragonriding are needed, although the OPness of a constant dragon companion would need to be addressed. Surely they can't use the same stats as from the Monster Manual, and riding on a small/baby dragon is kind of anti-climactic. In the Chronicles adventures the PCs rode to battle on adult-sized dragons in liberating the metallic dragon eggs from Sanction, so something like this needs to be an option for gaming groups at some point. Finally, the setting [I]has[/I] to address the role of the gods in bringing about the Cataclysm and the resultant Age of Despair, where they effectively performed a genocide upon eastern Ansalon for the crimes of a few. This is the largest elephant in the room, and prior official material that placed the blame squarely on mortals (even ones not involved with Istar or were born far later) is something that didn't fly over well with a lot of gamers. I went over such things (and other problems with Dragonlance and means of fixing them) in prior review and blog posts. Here are links to 2 of them I figure are the most relevant to this chain of discussion.
