#3 Cpt_Micha Nov 06, 2008 14:18:40	Well I guess this means it's year 3 release then.
#4 darktouch Dec 18, 2008 12:29:01	While I wouldn't complain about Dragonlance as a year three.. its not necessarily the case. What the 4e folks seem to be going with is an all inclusive approach. Everything we've ever done for D&D 'exists'.. and here is our spin on it. Its an interesting middle ground approach.

Dragonlance Setting
The world of the Dragonlance setting may contain more dragons than any other.

Albino
This smallish dragon had the body shape and acidic breath of a black dragon, but his scales were white like snow. Albino was mistreated both by his fellow hatchlings and his own mother, the Snake of Blackness, for his small size and oddly hued scales.
