This means the mechanics work well for representing the setting of the game.DnD takes the other route and any given setting doesn't quite fit the generic rules, so tweaking is done to whittle it into shape.IMO the HR Tomes used at some game tables are left-over from earlier versions of DnD where a coherent setting virtually required massive adjustments to the rules.</blockquote>
