[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 8702854, member: 67296"] If by “depth” you mean too thick and too deep to swim, then yes. Some depth is good. Too much depth is bloat. Where is “too much depth”? That’s where we most likely disagree. [edit: or not? I may have taken your comment the wrong way] I do however agree with the current era not being [I]the[/I] golden age. For me, the Golden age will forever remain 1e AD&D where the genre became well established and people look back to it with nostalgia and greatness despite all its flaws and dated themes. Not unlike pre WW2 comics are known as the golden age. Again in the comics world, the silver age is the period of commercial success following a hiatus of sort, where most “modern” heroes and conception of the genre is cemented or redefined. Personally, I’d put that at the 3.5/pathfinder era. This would put us in yet another age of D&D (bronze?) that is [I]consciously aware[/I] of itself and of golden/silver ages. [/QUOTE]
