[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8082723, member: 59057"] I actually watched only a few minutes of the youtube video. I am not sure if every point was fair... They complained about that only weapons, armor monsters and the myth of the east is brought to dnd instead of real culture, while in the PHB actually you mainly find weapons, armor, and in the monster manual monsters and the myth of the west. Also it was critizised that different eastern cultures were thrown together, but the same can be said about the base game... That all does not mean, that it should not be watched critically and I bet they pointed out things that in hindsight is not ok, but if you set the bar too high, you need to scrap the whole DnD game, which is mostly about fighting in a pseudo historical setting that never was and draws from myths, legends and fairytales. Actually, I would appreciate it, that the focus would shift a bit more to heroic deeds other than killing things. [/QUOTE]
