[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8305349, member: 18"] That is absolutely not going to happen. Dragonlance is about a bunch of white people, one whom, as a bonus, dresses up and acts like a Native American, despite being a pale-skinned blonde, and a token, and stereotyped Native American dude, together with some white-as-hell demihumans, and the "main character", Tanis, has his core arc about how because he's mixed-race, his life sucks. In a setting where the only black people are jolly pirates called Sea Barbarians, asian people don't even exist, and even the demi-humans are all pale-skinned and mid-light-haired. As a bonus, all the "good" women are essentially more passive than the "bad" ones, sometimes severely so. On top of that, the story in the original Chronicles, is a really dull and straightforward one, improved only by some brief excitement with dragonback-fighting and the like. You'd have to drastically re-work things, like, make some of the characters non-white, change the personalities of various characters, and then what? You've got a really generic fantasy setting, and you've offended both the authors (because they would be offended, we've seen Hickman's posts on Twitter), and likely most of the "fanbase" (who are 40-50+ years old anyway). Not a great starting point. The NFC figurine market died like two+ years ago dude. Only Amiibos are still going. Literally all three of the others you mentioned have been shut down. Amiibos are only still going because they're mostly bought by collectors for the figures. [/QUOTE]
