[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4827323, member: 19083"] lol, agreed 100 and 1 %!! :devil: Having established a wonderously baroque, different setting of tyranny, brutality and survival, which was awesome and completley un-like all the "Tolkein-esque" stuff, TSR turned around and made Tyr a [I]DEMOCRACY[/I] WTH?!... All to fit the novels which were decidedly iffy (nice flavour bakcgorund etc, but ruined the mystery and the Cleansing war precluded DM's use of many creatures etc) , omg...that was so lame, so I've always stuck with the 1st boxed set. Same problem with Draognlance: shoe horning, driving the setting to novels, then again, Dragonlance modules were just spin offs, and frankly suck sweaty orc armpits! :p (I had three of the "Dragons of Somehting or Other" modules, fyi) At least the novels were good (some of them anyway) So I [I]do [/I]hope they kick the fans in the jimmy :devil: and bring out Dark Sun, or Spelljammer or Planescape, anything but Dragonlance or Greyhawk, 'cause both of them don't really offer anything very different or "fun". Dragonlance, what's different: twoers of high sorcery/split magic users, and Raisitlin's funky eyes :P Oh and tinker gonmes, and too many folk seem to have forgtten D&D is about FUN and have thus retconned gnomes into being [I]boring[/I]. Gnomes, to me, are most fun when juggling nitroglycerine and Fireballs, k? :devil: Another issue that is important to me, is that the old settings had very defined art/styles, which was [I]vital [/I]for their "feel".
