Summary: Taking the journey for the first time all over again...
Review: I'm Tracy Hickman, one of the authors and original designers of the Dragonlance world. Steve Miller and Stan! Brown have, with this volume, taken our original game designs, completely reworked them, and given them back to us as a highly polished gem. I, for one, am grateful to them both for producing a remarkable, fresh and lovingly crafted retelling of the original adventure game.

Summary: Thank god it's here at last!
Review: I've been waiting for this book for a very long time! I own a couple of the original adventures (DL1 trough DL9), but this is worth having. Although I was a bit deceived by the layout and the artwork, the content seems excellent so far, and Stan! and Steve Miller have added some quite interesting parts, like meeting with Dalamar and Ariakan. Get it now before it's too late!

Summary: Great for old-timers and newbies alike!
Review: The Dragonlance Saga is the longest-standing TSR series ever, the archetype of "classic" AD&D. With the advent of the SAGA rules system, however, and the absence of Weis and Hickman in the creative process until recently, Dragonlance has taken a turn for the worse. However, this book is a great way to get back to the basics of what made Dragonlance and AD&D great back in the late 80s. Old-timers can play the epic again in a stream-lined, comprehensive book, made new by the inclusion of SAGA-style rules. Classic AD&D rules are also provided, though I recommend giving SAGA a shot, even if you're not into the Fifth Age products. Those new to the Dragonlance series can take part in what made it so great. The Chronicles and Legends novels have seen their third or fourth reprint for good reason. I do have a few gripes about the material. I suggest that the referee running the adventure be familiar with the novels and make suitable changes as he sees fit. In some ways, this adventure follows the original adventure modules more than it does the novels, meaning that the same inconsistencies exist, even though Dragonlance Classics does include several sections explaining how the plot was advanced in the novels. I advise making some changes to the statistics of the characters to better reflect the novels. If you have any of the expansion material for Fifth Age, you can still use some of it to enhance your use of this product--there are simply a few adjustments to be made, which are not difficult at all. In short, any Dragonlance or AD&D fan looking for a quality product should seriously consider this one. They are few and far between.

Summary: Absoloutly Fantastic
Review: The reprinting of the original 15 adventures has finally been released, marvelous, extremely detailed and rewritten with some new encounters.

Summary: Really, Really BAD
Review: This Campaign really is bad. It is just an attempt to feed off the popularity of dragonlance books. I would recomend some other books that are more organized. Evberything is not easy to understand and is far too boring. There is no reason someone should get this book, it is far to boring to come of use. The only good point is the map of Krynn.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This is the absolute climax and pinnacle of the role-playing campaign. Compatable with both SAGA and AD&D rules, this long campaign is truly epics and, suprisingly, totally non-linear. There is almost nothing wrong with this product. Role-playing heaven. The Tales of the Lance boxed set, Dragonlance's out of print AD&D campaign setting (...)is this item's perfect companion and is possibly the greatest game setting of all time. ... Role-play Dragonlance!
