[QUOTE="Blue Monk, post: 4145733, member: 62431"] I both love and hate the setting. I love the brutal landscape, ancient societies with low metal, and god like kings. Magic is illegal. I hate how the setting seems to run in circles. The world is dying so if you fix it you are not playing in the harsh setting any more, and if you don't fix it the world will die. The map for the Tyr region is small. There are a lot of inconsistencies between the novels and even the setting materials. There are no Dragons except those sorcerer/psionists that transformed themselves. Oh yeah, and Dwarves have no beards!? Sure it is fun to play weird races, like thrikreen, cannibal halflings, and elven raiders. But I also know there are many hardcore DS fans that hate change or any rehashing of the rules or story. There are also fans that argue when is the best time to begin a campaign. Before the dragons death or after when the city of Tyr freed its slaves. Change the cosmology, tweak the magic rules, or create a new sorcerer king and there will be many DS fans gnashing their teeth, but buying any printed material they can get their hands on so they can run the campaign their way. No is my vote. Then after the psionic rules come out then yes will be my new vote. [/QUOTE]
