I just wanted this thread to be a fun thread were we'd compare the cool things to be found in different settings and make reasonable arguement why this or that setting would be better. Instead it's been used as an excuse by some to slander the good names of a lot of folks and try to make them...

Anyways moving past Kara Tur for a moment, none have made any arguements why Tarkir, Kamigawa or Plane of Mountains and Seas, why would they be better or not?

I'm familiar with the fact that Kara Tur origined in OA thanks. But it was more fully detailed in the Kara Tur box set and parts in the Hordelands Box Set.

Adventures take play anywhere.

That was one person with extremely flawed arguements, based more on a flawed western ideology then any true example of actual racism in the book. It would takes me hours and hours to break down everything wrong with his arguements. And the actual true source book for Kara Tur has NEVER been...

I haven't shouted anyone down, I've only offered my opinions. In fact I literally couldn't possibly shout anyone down, I have zero control over what other people here post. None.

They are free to speak up and there is nothing cringey about Kara Tur, nothing.

Untrue.

Its a sign they wanted to be accurate and respectful of Asian cultures. And other parts of Kara Tur are perhaps more imaginative their approach.

There is an absolute ton of love that went into Kara Tur, do some research into the people that wrote and the setting before insulting them like that.

Who is we? I don't think you point of view is as representive as you think it is, it's really more a view representing a narrow educated class then regular folks, even among young folks. And again there is absolutely nothing offense about Kara Tur, no one has pointed out a single racist thing...

I was paraphrasing, going off memory. I'll have to look up the details later.

I'll point out that over time the Kara Tur nations diverged from just being Fantasy Asian nations as well, such as gaining Spelljammer tech (show me the ancient nation state that had magical space craft!), a war with the Feywild, the Spellplague, and other weird stuff. FR does also have a...

I added the Plane of Mountains and Seas to the title because I remembered MtG had one more Asian Themed setting, this one actually made by Asians, but it suffers from it's own breed of issues.

Yes, Kara Tur has also the Archetypes, plus more.

The Chinese government censors many things, but not for political correctness reasons. There is no D&D 5e translations into Chinese so it's unlikely to face as much cenship because books face less cenship then the internet, and books only in English even less because the only real market for...

It's also the only Asian themed D&D setting, and no as far I'm concerned Rokagun doesn't count, WotC doesn't own it anymore and James Wyatt who did Rokagun D&D conversion for 3e admits that using Rokagun instead of Kara Tur was a mistake and a bad idea that came from the suits. It did get a...

It's better and it's part of the Forgotten Realms.

Excellent post, it's get to see someone who gets it. There is nothing in offensive in the Kara Tur Campaign Setting, yes it plays to Asian archetypes, but not stereotypes, there is a difference. Btw Asian media does this just as much, you can find Samurai, Yakazua, Bushido, and so on in...
