I wrote a bit about that a while back:<br />https://mythlands-erce.blogspot.com/search/label/dragonlanceAnders Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654797360283177027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-38960453775986280772018-12-14T06:36:59.431-08:002018-12-14T06:36:59.431-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.DMWieghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682249561077936507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-25482343145867837672018-12-14T06:36:38.027-08:002018-12-14T06:36:38.027-08:00Dragonlance novels are literally what got me into ...Dragonlance novels are literally what got me into D&D. As a child, I happened upon Time of the Twins at my library, and my nearly three decades of gaming are the direct result of that chance encounter. From 5-12th grade, I read boatloads of Dragonlance novels. <br /><br />Weirdly enough, I never once actually played Dragonlance as an rpg. I did play that wonky NES Dragonlance game, though...

I read the books as a child of about eight or nine, and I had no real idea that they were associated with a game; I didn't get around to playing <i>D&D</i> until a number of years later.<br /><br />I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for the books, but I've never had any urge to play in the setting. That said, the spin-off game <i>Fifth Age</i> is one of my favourite rpgs, although more for the system than the setting.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-84166802763389387332018-12-13T09:08:18.774-08:002018-12-13T09:08:18.774-08:00I've long thought of doing something similar w...I've long thought of doing something similar with magic items, in order to make the players less dependent on them. One thing I've never liked about 3e and its descendants is that the EL/CR mechanic is based on the players having plenty of magic items as they get into the upper levels.Fuzzy Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606454596061907461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-46957778597695878242018-12-13T03:31:53.229-08:002018-12-13T03:31:53.229-08:00Sorry, I meant GusL, not Arnold in my comment abov...Sorry, I meant GusL, not Arnold in my comment above.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-72565880729594471552018-12-13T03:30:38.004-08:002018-12-13T03:30:38.004-08:00I recently experimented with putting the DL1 dunge...I recently experimented with putting the DL1 dungeon in my 5E West Marches game. Like Arnold, I had come to the realization that kicking the modules off the rails might be fun. <br /><br />My players did indeed treat the draconians and gully dwarves as factions (they haven't encountered the spectral minions yet) and are trying to see how they could play off one side or the other to pull off a heist of the dragon's treasure.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.com
