The lack of campaign setitng doesn't bother me, but do the rules allow it to *FEEL* like Dragonlance?   In my teens years I'd read easily a hundred or more novels from the Dragonlance series of books. I love the setting! I didn't play 4th edition much, but didn't think it was well suited to Dragonlance. It "felt" right for imitating the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon series for sure, but not Dragonlance. In my opinion anyway.

Though I havent read anything besides the War of the Lances Trilogy, I dont think there is that much arcane magic, but thats a smaller issue. Overall I would say that it does fit very well. But with the exception of 4ths high power setting, I think just about every edition has been fairly edition neutral. TO me having a defualt setting should just mean where most published adventures take place. I actually perfer the way 5th did it, with the racial fluff coming from multiple sources, and even the fluff in the classes I can see fitting into just about anything. Unfortunetly Darksun is the exception to that, cause its just so radically different.

#5 arghassdf Feb 10, 2015 12:35:46	I'm currently running a Dragonlance campaign. We started with LMoP and I'm adapting it in order to better suit post War of Souls Ansalon (changing the orcs for half-ogre, goblins and etc., introducing "some" draconians). Most of the classes and races you can use RAW, but some tweaking is necessary. There are a couple of nice online resources (Dragonlance Nexus and Tribality, for example) where you can find some conversions. I sure hope we get some official Dragonlance 5e, but I don't really trust WotC to do that after revoking the previous license.
