I was totally suprised that TSR was able to come out with such a cool game. This game is what D&D should have been. it's rule mechanics are so much better that D&D's it is unreal. Well worth the money. also the earlier reviewers criticisms of the travel rule were wrong. it is 4 miles an HOUR over good terrain. A Great Game
I was *so* incredibly sick of dice based, math intense RPG. Finally one comes out based on ROLE PLAYING and -not- Dice throwing! Bravo, TSR/WOTC
I am quite possibly one of the biggest DragonLance fans ever. However, this game seems like it needs a little change to be a decent game. The first MAJOR flaw is in the spell system that the rules provide. It makes it almost impossible to cast say a fireball spell and inflict any amount of damage on an enemy at all. Then after the spell is cast, it takes forever to regain the magic points lost in its casting. Also the travel system is a little less than desirable. It makes it so that on good terrain (such as a road) you can only go like 5 or 6 miles in a day (I can't remember the actual number but 5 or 6 is in the ballpark. The thing I like the game for is the cool maps and cards that come with it. It could also be a decent game if the players are willing to deviate from the spell and travel systems provided in the rules. A must for any major DragonLance fan, but look to pass it over if you aren't familiar with the series.

Dragonlance Fifth Age is awesome.
What can I say about Dragonlance Fifth Age. I too was skeptical at first but when I bought it I was immediately impressed by how much simpler things were. Read more

Outstanding!
At first, I didn't think that they'd be able to do it. I mean, come on. A role-playing game without dice?! But do it they did, and in spades! Read more

Fifth Age setting alright, but Saga Rules System is great!!!
I bought the Dragonlance: Fifth Age not for the setting, but for the Saga Rules. Imagine TSR producing a diceless RPG, it's crazy! But it is true. Read more

A solid and fun roleplaying game!
Fans of the Dragonlance saga should definitely try this new role-playing game. Those who haven't heard of Dragonlance would do well to make this game their introduction. Read more

A very easy to learn game and lotsa fun too!
I was very skeptical seeing one of my favorite campaign settings turned into a new game. After about 7-8 months I finally broke down and bought it...EXCELLENT! Read more
