[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8311538, member: 22779"] Nope, I never said they should add orcs. That was someone else's claim. I simply said that it was strange to claim that Dragonlance wasn't a setting for a bunch of different races. If you have minotaurs, walrus people and whatnot, adding in Tabaxi isn't a huge stretch. Orcs? Nope, never said that. [USER=6801776]@Mecheon[/USER] points to a single module as an example of how "gonzo" Greyhawk is. In DL, you've got several modules, ie. the entire base campaign, where the party is absolutely dripping with powerful magic items, artifacts, hob nobbing with the prime god of the setting, killing dragons, and frequently multiple dragons at a time. I dunno, I figure that riding a gold dragon while mowing down multiple evil dragons and carrying an artifact makes for a fairly gonzo setting. But, apparently, what do I know? Yeah, I was trying for a bit of humour at the outset, mostly because I'd seen multiple people make these broad, sweeping claims about the way Dragonlance is, that seemed pretty oblivious to the content of the modules or the source material of the setting. Now, I'll be perfectly honest, I dropped out of DL in about 1995, give or take, so, anything from 5th Age passed me by entirely. And I didn't pay any attention to the 3e material. So, obviously, my take on the setting is somewhat dated. But, limited races and limited magic? In Dragonlance? Seriously? That's your take on the setting? Man, they REALLY must have changed stuff after SAGA. Because it certainly wasn't like that at the outset. ((And, [USER=6801776]@Mecheon[/USER], yeah, we're not going to agree on this. I have zero problems with the Cataclysm. Multiple real world mythologies and religions have all sorts of myths and stories that are just as bad if not worse. At first reading, my first thought was, "Oh, D&D now has a flood myth". Getting all bent out of shape because a D&D setting takes pages from real world mythologies doesn't really faze me at all.))
