[QUOTE="vrykyl, post: 259981, member: 3644"] [b]Dragonlance for D&D3e/d20[/b] Greetings everyone! Naturally I am interested in what the gaming audience has to say about perceived problems in Dragonlance in the past. I see that the "straight-jacketed by books and modules" seems to be a big issue with a lot of people. It is very true that the original modules were very tightly linked to the novels, and even with some variables thrown in, the plot was linear and rather forced. What I can tell you is that the Sovereign Press plans for the new Dragonlance products do not include: [list] [*]Pre-generated player characters. (Your group should use their own heroes!) [*]Plots that mirror the novels. (Some of the adventures may "dove-tail" with the novels and let characters meet characters or explore locations seen in books, but these adventures will be YOUR group's story.) [*]Continued obsession with the original heroes. (Some of our game products--those in the War of the Lance--will deal with them appropriately, but once again, our new game line is there for you group to become the focus of new stories.) [/list] Kenders, gully dwarves, and gnomes are certainly included--they are an important part of Dragonlance! But some effort has been put to make all races balanced, playable, and useful, not just throwaway races for comic relief. The important elements that will remain are the rich setting and the romance of the ongoing Dragonlance storyline. I hope you guys will give it a chance! Jamie Chambers Sovereign Press, Inc.
