The prequels spent a lot of time at war too. Attrition and "war is hell" stories are absolutely part of that era.

That attitude could be entirely in keeping with certain versions of Star Wars. The Rebellion thought this way until a PC forced them out...

For the record, I think a game company other than WotC (virtually any other game company) could make a very fine RPG using your...

I have already said I don't think they want to do this. But this is just the goalpost shifting, no? First it was questioning whether the...

Setting: mid-to-high fantasy. Art: not cartoons. Cartoon art, particularly on book covers, screams "cheap, hokey, don't in any way...

I disagree. Generic fill in the box settings are all WotC is giving us. Every setting has every race and class in it. Magic works the...
