I flat out reject that the things in these books can't be ported over 98% intact to these three settings (Depending on how close you want to stick to cannon, you might not want to port the magic system to FR, with the tight control of magic in that world...). Greyhawk, meh. Dragonlance is not supposed to be a settign you plug stuff into willy-nilly... It's a very closed setting, designed to be one exact thing. I would hesitate to even add much much more mundane stuff to Dragonlance, like 95% of the classes in the "*&*" splatbooks WotC put out. Same with Dark Sun, for the most part. Stock DnD in most of it's incarnations is a bad setting because despite the clear inferiority of humans, they are still somehow the dominate race. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I find DT's premise there much more plausible than most other settings. However, in truth, 'bad' is purely subjective. I have my reasons for feeling as I do, and I guess you do two, but neither of us are 'right'.Bull<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Let's rephrase that, shell we?How about, "To make a setting catered to my specific tastes, Humanity must be in the forefront". Better, no?But DT has all those options.I'd make that trade. I give up exactly one tangible loss (The ability to concieve offspring via sexual methods), and gain: Innate magical abilities, potent offensive abilities, hardened, armor-like skin, the permanent ability to see in the dark, and a MASSIVE boost to my lifespan. Sounds like a good trade to me... Also, it is incorrect to say that everyone hates them. It says that most people have an aversion to them, because they tend to be driven individuals who have different priorities and modes of thought. That's not the same thing as being hated and everyone wanting to kill you.Ahh yes. How tollerant we gamers are. We tollerate everyone. Except furries, of course. Evil, evil creatures. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> And faeries are one of the oldest fantasy staples there are.Good for you.I belive you are quite wrong.</blockquote>
