I have been complaining about Dragonlace the last couple of posts, but let me say something good about the concept. It is hard to make up an entire mythos of a fantasy world. It is hard to make up a bazillion names of places and characters. Just making up constellations of the world of Krynn is top notch world building. Tracy Hickman did a good job synthesizing a lot of different things to make a new world.
Although, some of the names are not great in my opinion, enough of them are.
Also, I read he put all this together in less than a year, and also started writing (with Margaret Weiss) the first novel. Even though I dislike the modules, coming up with the concept, getting others at TSR on board, deciding to have novels as tie-ins for the project...
Amazing idea.

@randomwizard@social.vivaldi.net my opinion is: the books are good, the modules are not.

@randomwizard@social.vivaldi.net I tried to read the first book. I just can't. Maybe it gets better but this world is lost for me.
