Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen came out the other day. I flipped through a copy at my local Barnes & Noble today and found it rather disappointing. Like most recent D&D books (Spelljammer, I'm looking at you!), this one seems light on background and not worth the money they want. They introduce some new world-specefic feats, Kender(shudder) as a player race and the Lunar Mage subclass(which requires you to track far too much) and then the adventure which is rather lackluster, IMHO.
Maybe D&D is banking on people familiar with Dragonlance to just step up and buy the book, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Also, am I the only one who gets irritated that they never seem to move things forward in their setting books when they release them? D&D came out 50 YEARS AGO and Faerun is largely unchanged, except for the introduction of Dragonborn and the continent they came from. They need to hire a Loremaster to advance the settings a bit.
