Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paka" data-source="post: 4272686" data-attributes="member: 100">Bret and I were talking about this earlier tonight a bit.  We discussed how you can kind of dial up the dark of the 4e D&D settings kind of using the Points of Light as the barometer.  How bright are your Points of Light?  Are there outside forces threatening them or are they stable?Bret added in conflict to this setting by having gonzo and vague undefined threats attacking all of the Points of Light and all of our characters were kind of born from there.Storn's Wizard's family was destroyed while he was off at the crumbling university that taught him magics, Bob's Warlord is the last surviving member of a holy and royal line, Jeff's Dragonborn Fighter is a refugee from a destroyed citadel who left with a clutch of eggs and Kat will be playing a Warlock who was driven a bit mad due to a dark prophecy she caught wind of.  We're all strongly effected by the snuffing of the PoL's but at the same time, I don't think it is going to really change how the lot of us view fantasy, which is probably a bit darker than most.On the continuum with George R.R. Martin on one side and Tolkien smack-dab in the middle with Disney on the far other side, we're somewhere between Martin and Tolkien, without a doubt.We're looking at our character sheets and we're eager to kick down some doors, kill some stuff and write down said stuff on our character sheets.Its been a while since most of us have 'crawled.</blockquote>
