[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5820398, member: 10784"] Sure, Eberron was new for 3E, but other settings continued on from previous editions - Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, DragonLance, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, etc. Forgotten Realms has always been pretty high magic going back to its origin - Elminster & all his allies, Force Grey, the Lords of Waterdeep, the Underdark and Undermountain, the 7 Sisters, etc. Dark Sun has always been pretty low magic, and remains that way even in 4E. I've enjoyed a lot of the artwork going back to the early days of D&D, but looking back at it now, some of the old art seems really tired and dated, even simplistic in many places. (the cover of the 1E Monster Manual) I think 3E/3.5E at least made an effort to be more inclusive with their artwork - not every woman is a voluptuous scantily clad damsel in distress. I personally enjoy a lower magic game, but I also realize that my tastes are not what everybody in my group likes, so I have to adapt to their tastes as well. And, despite my having some older gamers in my group, several of them did not play 1E or 2E D&D. So, to them, 3E and 4E are the "norm" for D&D. [/QUOTE]
