[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7749683, member: 6906155"] You continue to use wild hyperbolae with your anti-Dark Sun propaganda. I'm beginning to think Dark Sun must have run over your dog or something! I don't like Waterdeep, but I'm not saying it should be nuked out of existence so no one else can use the setting. I just won't be buying the books. The truth is Dark Sun was far closer to the core D&D rules of the time than 5e (Warlocks, Dragonborn, non-Vancian magic), so if Dark Sun shouldn't be called D&D, 5e has no right to the name either. Sure, it has some tweaks, but that's the thing: THERE IS NO POINT IN PUBLISHING A CAMPAIGN SETTING THAT ISN'T DIFFERENT. And Dark Sun goes back to one of the core inspirations of D&D - the lurid pulp fiction of the 1910s-1950s, especially Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs (check out the 1st edition DMG). This is something that was there at the start but has been lost over the years. [/QUOTE]
