I was referring to them lol. Tried rereading the original trilogy lately not good.
The original trilogy was based on the series of 12 dragon-themed game modules TSR put out. It's especially obvious in the part of the story that takes place in Pax Tharkas, where it's so easily obvious that the module would have presented the players with a crossroads and they had to choose which way to go. I could hear the phantom dice rolls as I read.
(however, there is a Dragonlance thread in A&E, so we shouldn't derail this one )
