When this book was first announced a month or so back I mentioned to Weiss on Twitter that it sounded like WotC was going to use this to make DL fit into their modern version of the game.I watched a video and Margaret said the term Classic was used to distinguish it from whatever WotC has planned
Or perhaps like Star Trek's Kelvin Timeline.I still wouldn't put it passed WotC to use use this to "split the timelines". So they can make a "new Dragonlance" while pretending they didn't kill off the old school version by never having products for it again. See also: Star Wars Legends
It strikes me as odd that they wouldn't consider their own subsequent Dragonlance works canon for this new trilogy. They wrote more than just the Chronicles and Legends books.I believe that Weis and Hickman are only considering their own two trilogies as canon for this new trilogy.
I'm not so sure.Seems a safe bet that we'll have a Dragonlance book for 5E coming this year or next.
Dragonlance is a potential cash-cow for Hasbro. Let's rebember the number of novels published. They should notice also the risk of to undo the previous "canon", like Star Wars and the previous "expanded universe". I wouldn't be surprised with some secret project about a future videogame. Here we could enjoy more freedom to change details, for example Tas as a female character, or Riverwind as a barbarian class instead a ranger.
If WotC has planned something about a future event like a "multiverse crisis" causing the reboot of all the lines, then M&H should be asked about the possible retcons.
