Sorry, it was a pretty brief and inscrutable comment. My bad.
After those books got so popular (I even liked the first trilogy) the rules started to change, in my opinion. They did make D&D much more popular, but it then became bloated with an emphasis on a story with nigh invulnerable plot driven characters. The modules based on that Dragonlance stuff were just awful railroads with little player or DM choice provided, in my opinion.

Gotcha. I was just referring to the novels as a stand alone, not their effect on gaming. I only read Chronicles, Legends, and The Legend of Huma (Knaak).
Take care.
