Apr 07, 2005 12:31:12 Do you ever wonder how various parts of Krynn's history would have turned out if certain things had been different? Here are some examples:

What if Chemosh had been the one who stole the world after the Chaos War?

What if Tanis was a half-ogre?

What if Astinus was actually making up history to serve his own interests?

Further "what if"s, and speculations about the consequences, are welcome.

Apr 07, 2005 13:05:55 You may wish to check out Sov. Press' upcoming Legends sourcebook, which will go into a few "what if?" scenarios.

Anything more, and Jamie will send the draconians after me. ;)

I imagine Trampas will kill the Baaz and it will turn to stone. Not that Trampas seems the martial sort, but I've never actually seen a Baaz kill anyone. Then he will poisoned by a kapak, magic missled by a Bozak, and have his throat slit by a Sivak who will then assume his identity so none of us are the wiser.

Wait a minute... it's already happened hasn't it? I knew something smelled fishy when I saw him eat that cat. ;)

You get the right BBQ sauce, it don't matter what you put it on.

Er.... *whistles* :D

Last I heard, it's looking like a GenCon release, then to mass market around Sept. Jamie, correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Wow, now I'm looking forward to this book even more than I was before!

So um.... no one has any "what if"s for Krynn?

What if my thread had not been hijacked? :P (Just kidding, it's cool.)

Apr 09, 2005 12:17:53 What if SAGA system rules had never existed (and closely ruined DL for ever)?

What if DL sourcebooks never contradicted each other and/or previuos ones?

Apr 09, 2005 13:43:56 Guys, let's not go down this path, if we could please. I'd rather discuss in-word "what if's".

Speaking of which, what if Chaos was not released from the Greygem?
#15
zombiegleemax
Apr 09, 2005 14:52:33 I apologyze. Is just that I'd enjoyed all that supplements far more with 2e rules instead of converting the whole from Saga system, also, bakc then not every sinlge book was worth buying it, practically all supplements (1e, 2e, Saga) were filled with mistakes and contradictory stuff which disspointed me greatly.
I thought 3e stuff wouldn't repeat the same mistake but they're doing it!

I'm a BIG DL FAN, and that's why i dare make a critic like that.

But enough, what if Raist and Caramon were born a single person instead of twins?

LOL! That explains so much.

"Oh, hi Paladine. Was this your continent of Ansalon? You should take better care of your things. Here, let me show you how it should be done..." ;)

Apr 11, 2005 12:48:45 I've actually played in two "What if" campaigns.

Both of them were "What if Takhisis and her forces had won the War of the Lance instead of Paladine and his forces?"

Both have been completely different, and both have been fun to play in.

So, what do YOU guys think would happen?

Apr 12, 2005 18:35:42 What if Lord Soth had not turned back on his way to Istar, and the Emperor of Ergoth hadn't died and the Imperial Army continued its advance through Solamnia to Istar.
This is one of my favorite what if's for DL.
Alternate history is one of my favorites.

Apr 12, 2005 19:13:09 What if a group of Dragonarmy loyalist brought back Ariakas as an Undead?

Apr 22, 2005 9:40:24 I just think it is very cool that someone can write down their D&D game and make so much money out of it. I mean this whole Dragonlance franchise was created from someone else's D&D game. Outstanding stuff. So get writing true believers, 'cause it might be your book that takes off next.

Nothing is impossible.

No, it wasn't. It was created specifically to sell gaming materials, not from somebody's D&D game. The novels and other products have done remarkably well since.

When was Raistlin ever in Fistandantilus' body? That absurd statement conjures images that are truly unpleasant....
