| With no more Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Wilderlands of High Fantasy, KoK, etc, there are no more general fantasy settings. To make Paizo's setting general was a Harrowing stroke of brilliance. The introduction says that it is suppose to feel familiar while still being new and fresh.
I feel they have accomplished this.
(Remember, sizable portions of this world is based on Jacobs' homebrew he started back in the early-mid 80's so its going to be influenced by ... well... D&D's classic historical settings.) |
