Dragonlance Classics is a series of adventure modules for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
The Dragonlance Classics series reprints the original adventure modules from the 14 modules in the Dragonlance Saga series from 1984 to 1986 and updates them to AD&D 2nd Edition game rules. [1]
Dragonlance Saga Classics, Volume 1 is a compilation of modules DL1 through DL4, revised for the 2nd edition rules. [2]
Dragonlance Classics Volume III, the third and final installment, compiles the Dragons of Dreams , Dragons of Faith , Dragons of Truth , and Dragons of Triumph entries, omitting the Dragons of Glory board game. Players assume the roles of Tanis, Raistlin, and other characters from the early Dragonlance novels, then embark on a journey that takes them from the Red Dragon Inn to the depths of the Blood Sea.

Rick Swan reviewed Dragonlance Classics Volume III for Dragon magazine #215 (March 1995). [1] He felt that the original Dragonlance Saga modules series "stands as one of the most ambitious and satisfying fantasy campaigns ever published. Time has diminished its appeal not a whit, evidenced by the Classics series" [1] Swan comments: "Don't worry if you passed on the previous two Classics books; Volume III is self-contained, including enough background to make newcomers feel at home in Krynn. Whether you experience the Saga as a whole or an abridgment, it's not to be missed. They don’t make 'em like this anymore." [1]
