[[TSR, Inc.|TSR]] created ''Dragonlance'' as a campaign setting for the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons|Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]'' (''AD&D'') [[roleplaying game]] in 1982, publishing the first of a series of [[adventure (Dungeons & Dragons)|modules]], ''[[Dragons of Despair]]'', in March 1984. They published the first world-spanning sourcebook, ''[[Dragonlance Adventures]]'', in 1987. When ''AD&D'' was updated to the 2nd edition in 1989, the ''Dragonlance'' campaign setting was updated as well. However, in 1996, ''Dragonlance'' was converted to use the new [[SAGA System]], which uses cards to determine the effects of actions, with the publication of the ''[[Dragonlance: Fifth Age]]'' roleplaying game.<ref name="history"/> 

When the 3rd edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' was released in 2000, ''Dragonlance'' was not initially updated for the new edition. In 2002, Margaret Weis's company [[Sovereign Press (role-playing game publisher)|Sovereign Press]] acquired the license to publish 3rd Edition ''Dragonlance'' material. The official update, ''[[Dragonlance Campaign Setting]]'', was published in 2003 for the 3.5 Edition. [[Wizards of the Coast]] turned over all responsibility for maintaining the ''Dragonlance'' setting to Sovereign Press until 2007.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=Dragonlance Campaign Setting (3.5) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.dmsguild.com/product/28592/Dragonlance-Campaign-Setting-35 |access-date=April 26, 2022 |website=[[Dungeon Masters Guild]] |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Archer" /><ref name=":2" /> The campaign setting was not supported during the [[4th edition D&D|4th Edition]] era (2008-2013) of ''Dungeons & Dragons''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 16, 2022 |title=D&D's Latest Unearthed Arcana Teases the Return of a Classic Setting |url=https://www.cbr.com/dnd-5e-ua-heroes-krynn-dragonlance-return/ |access-date=April 26, 2022 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref>
