D&D having one single identity? What a horrible thought.
Even within an individual setting there's room for plenty of styles of adventure, from pulpy to whimsical to horror. And D&D isn't a setting - it's a system that can be used as the basis for a variety of settings.
The more different takes we get on D&D's 'identity' in media, the better - it'll be the death knell for the system if its publishers ever try to cram it all into one little box.
