The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I played some of this back in 2nd edition and dug it mightily.
I used to love the Dragonlance setting, the books were a big influence when I was a nipper...but I must confess I track of exactly what was going on prior to the "next generation" and chaos dragons and the like all took off.
From what I've read of the current edition rules it'd pretty much mess up and chance of playing in the "classic" Dragonlance setting would it not ?
