Dragonlance SeriesDL1 - DL16
The Dragonlance Campaign began as a series of novels and matching modules (DL1 - DL4) for AD&D, by Tracy and Laura Hickman and Margaret Weis. They proved to be enormously successful, and have since spawned legions of follow-on module series (DLA, DLC, DLE, DLQ, DLS, DLT), the DLR series of sourcebooks, novels, and even a hardcover manual, Dragonlance Adventures.

The "Dragonlance Saga" runs in three parts, and is set on the continent of Ansalon. DL1 - DL4 is the first, DL6 - DL9 is the second, and DL10, DL12, DL13, and DL14 make up the third. Each part was eventually compiled into the three DLC (Dragonlance Classics) modules, which also updated the series to 2nd Edition AD&D conventions.
The cover art of DL4, by Keith Parkinson, has a very tiny TARDIS, Doctor Who, and K-9 in it.
DL5 Dragons of Mystery is a sourcebook rather than an adventure.
Several of the Dragonlance modules contained provisions for the BattleSystem rules expansion. DL8 and DL14 contain BattleSystem scenarios, but no counters. DL9 contains dragon and catapult BattleSystem counters, but has no scenario. DL12 has undersea-creature counters and scenarios. Thanks to Dan Harshman for this info.
DL9 BattleSystem counters (done in full color): 9 blue dragons, 3 red dragons, 3 brass dragons, 3 bronze dragons, 3 copper dragons, 3 silver dragons, 2 gold dragons, 2 catapults. Thanks to Dan Harshman for this info.
DL11 is a self-contained game; it provides notes for conversion to BattleSystem rules, but is a separate game entirely. It contains cardboard counters, but they are a different size than BattleSystem ones. Dragon Magazine #107 has expanded rules for this module. Thanks to Dan Harshman for this info.
DL12 BattleSystem counters (done in blue and green): 24 mermen, 24 sea elves, 48 lacedon (24 dark, 24 light), 8 sea hags, 12 heavy calvary seahorse, 4 heavy calvary sea slug, 16 light calvary (8 green, 8 blue/white), 5 chariots, 5 sea dragons, 1 amphidragon, 1 King of the Deep. Also includes a set of Talis cards. Thanks to Dan Harshman for this info.
DL15 is a series of short adventures set in the Dragonlance world (at 128 pages, it could nearly be called a supermodule!). DL16 is similar (four short adventures), but only 96 pages. Originally, the Dragonlance saga was to run through DL15 (which was originally titled Dragons of Krynn), but TSR eventually decided to wrap the storyline up in DL14 Dragons of Triumph. Thanks to Dan Harshman for this info.

DL11 Dragons of Glory tends to command a higher price than the others in the series, due to the included cardboard cutouts and thick cardboard cover (the thickness of the module increases its susceptibility to damage, much like the H series modules).
