==Reception== Rick Swan reviewed ''Dragonlance Classics Volume III'' for ''Dragon'' magazine #215 (March 1995).<ref name="Dragon #215">{{cite journal| last = Swan| first = Rick| authorlink = Rick Swan| title = Role-playing Reviews| journal = Dragon| issue = #215| page = 86| publisher = TSR| location = Lake Geneva, Wisconsin|date=March 1995}}</ref> 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"<ref name="Dragon #215"/> 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."<ref name="Dragon #215"/>
