Yesterday at our D&D game one of the other players looked at me and said "I'm getting kind of tired of just playing D&D". And I nodded calmly and said "Yes, there are many other games we could play", calmly. When in reality inside I was:

I got all excited for a minute because I thought people were going to post pictures of their chest rigs and PVS-14s.

In my defense, my stupidity is all natural, no rhetorical gamesmanship here.

It is definitely more sword and sorcery than FR (though, it's not a high bar). But yeah, it's a weird mix if you step back and look at it. You have some darker sword and sorcery stuff in the background, and in the foreground political machinations and conflicts and like, Arthurian-esque knightly...
