When has D&D ever followed the "traditionalist" model?
I certainly wouldn't want to play in a game bound by what someone thinks "fits" into a certain model of Earth of a certain period. This is fantasy. I want entirely NEW cultures, not cheap rip offs of Rome or England or what have you. I want a world where the existance of magic has altered society, not a set of exscuses for why it hasn't made life any different than what it was in medieval Europe.
If you really want to limit yourself in this way go for it, but all these arguments lately about how wrong or silly a truly fantastic setting is are getting old real quick.
