Dragonlance is a great fictional world, but in spite of the authors' implied hopes for this book, I'm not sold on it as a great setting for games. Since everything seems to be centered around the novel storylines, either you have to work within the existing plots, or go completely outside and make up your own stuff... and in the latter case, wouldn't I be better off making up my own setting from scratch? Don't get me wrong, this book does a great job in presenting the world of Dragonlance in gam

Don't get me wrong, this book does a great job in presenting the world of Dragonlance in game terms, and it's worthwhile for that alone... but it still doesn't feel as open a world as the Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk. (I would probably recommend it over the latter, though.) (B+)
