[QUOTE="CrusaderX, post: 1336337, member: 808"] Here are some ideas for a Dragonlance campaign that I've always wanted to try: - Keep the [I]Chronicles[/I] and [I]Legends[/I] trilogies as canon. Ignore all of the novels that came after Legends. - Set the campaign 50 years after the end of Legends. The human characters from the two trilogies are too old to be the world's main heroes, though they can still be NPCs if necessary. - The elven characters (Laurana, Gilthanas, Dalamar, etc) are all still young, alive, and well, though they still won't outshine the PC's, as they're busy with their own agendas. - Tanis is no longer capable of being the main hero (for whatever reason - maybe he's injured, MIA, or just plain retired from adventuring), and Laurana has resumed the role of the Golden General of the Knights of Solamnia. - The main conflict on Ansalon in this time period would consist of Laurana and the Knights vs. the return of...Lord Soth. And he's back with a horde of undead dragons set to swarm all over Ansalon. - The PC's would be agents of the Knights who have to find a way to stop Soth's forces, perhaps involving quests to find magical undead-slaying artifacts. The Towers of High Sorcery and even the gods of Krynn could be involved in these quests. - The campaign would heavily involve the various people, places, and things throughout Krynn that make it unique and that DL fans are very familiar with (the Knights, important NPCs such as Laurana, Soth, and Dalamar, the Towers, Draconians, Dragonlances, Dragon Orbs, etc), while still giving the PC's plenty of room to take center stage. So the DM and the players will have the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
