Still, there was a time when Greyhawk seemed impossibly far off and look where we are now. Any chance we can get a post total rivalling DL? I would love to see the day when I can make a "Catch up with Dark Sun" thread.... Havard

I loved the original dragonlance books and games but once it went SAGA it was downhill for me. When I first got into RPG's almost twenty years ago (sheesh I am old) a friend bought me the Time of the Dragon boxed set. I used several species and settings in my Mystara campaign. Loved the savage mind flayers!

#4 maddog Mar 28, 2008 6:23:57	Dragonlance == 49,466 posts. Mystara == 22,355 post. Everyone will have to post twice as much. --Ray.

#6 Hugin Mar 31, 2008 8:50:52	I will try to help "Do or do not; There is no try" ;) :D It appears we've entered the epic levels and have set our sights on truly daunting goal. But it's all alright fellow party members, the PCs have the favour of the DM!
#7 havard Apr 03, 2008 7:14:18	Epic indeed! I really like Dragonlance. Most of our AD&D campaigns used that setting back in the days. We had two GMs using that setting while I was doing Mystara and the others were GMing other RPGs altogether. My group always had this tradition that almost everyone were expected to GM their own game/setting. While not many people liked the SAGA system, our group loved it. The 5th Age setting also, at first seemed to have alot more room for the PCs to make a difference whereas the War of the Lance era was dominated the characters from the novels. Ofcourse, soon enough novels started appearing and defining that age aswell, and IMO took the 5th age to a much less interesting and much more standard, unimaginative setting. My main attraction to the setting was the early novels though. The Chronicles and the Legends trilogies really fascinated me in my early teens. Even if they seemed to run out of ideas in later novels, Hickman and Weiss still remain really good writers. I had the pleasure of talking to Margaret Weiss briefly at GenCon one year, and she seemed like a really nice person too So we are up against a real giant this time indeed! Are there any other groups at WotC we could use as benchmarks on the way there, or should we just reach for this true goal right away? I still can't believe that we are among the top three Other Worlds. And many of these worlds had offical upgrades to 3E whereas we did not. An amazing feat Havard

Interestingly enough, the Ebberon General forum is currently only at 28,778 posts.... ;) Havard

#10 Hugin May 01, 2008 9:47:10	Here's the May 1st update:
#11 havard May 01, 2008 11:41:54	Thanks for the update Hugin! I am sure you meant to write May ;) The winner this month by a long shot is... the D&D OOP forum? Good for them! They are no threat to us, but I guess it does show us that we could have done better ;) I would also include the Ebberon General forum, which is now leading on us by only 6,333 posts ;) It is nice to see that we are gaining steadily on Dragonlance and that even Dark Sun's gain on us doesnt seem as intimidating as it once did... Havard

I think we could drop the tracking of Ravenloft now anyway. It is nice to see that we are gaining steadily on Dragonlance and that even Dark Sun's gain on us doesnt seem as intimidating as it once did... Havard True, but Dark Sun is still intimidating.
