This is off topic, but Margaret Wies and Tracey Hickman's company 
(sovereign stone?) has acquired the rights to do Dragonlance d20.. It's 
expected next year, and I'll be picking it up as it's always been one 
of the better thoguht out of the TSR settings in my mind... Magic of 
any sort being incredibly rare, and the world having a morse sensible 
structure than many.

of course, I've already warned my posse that should my Deadlands game 
conclude and we end up doing Dragonlance d20, I'll run it a lot like 
Deadlands, with all magic items being slightly unique and 'unknowns' 
and similar.
