There's plenty of it; go forth and read.Arbiter of Wyrms' answered you perfectly.D&D fantasy-- identifiable as D&D because it is filled with the conventions of D&D gaming-- doesn't work very well because it breaks the expectations of strong, classical narrative. When you break those expectations-- to put it bluntly-- the story sucks. The actual degree of suckage may vary, but generally speaking the more identifiable the genre is as D&D fantasy, the more the story suffers. If you want a good story-- and there are many good stories right here in the Story Hour forum-- the more you will have to downplay or obfuscate the genre's game underpinnings.</blockquote>
