[QUOTE="Ondath, post: 8663473, member: 7031770"] I think this is an uncharitable way of looking at things. The people I've seen who work as sensitivity readers tend to be quite progressive-leaning politically, and I really don't think the settings themselves in modern 5E are bland, the problem is mostly that there [I]are[/I] no settings and WotC's most new supplements tell you to just make it up. But when a setting [B]is[/B] fleshed out, you get a lot of interesting things as was the case in Eberron and Wildmount (where the adventure Call of the Netherdeep shows the Middle East inspired city of Marquet and heavy themes of abuse and betrayal with well, IMO). [SIZE=1]One exception to this is the Strixhaven book which managed to turn dangerous and exciting magic university with opposing philosophies into quirky fantasy uni where you work at Starbucks and romance cute folks from the theatre club, but I'd say that's an outlier.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
